Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Set a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or cooking oil. Let it melt and coat the surface of the skillet.
Once the skillet is hot, pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed across the surface.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet. Then, layer the diced bell peppers and chopped spinach on top of the cheese as the 'hidden surprise'.
Let the omelet cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and pull away from the pan, but the center is still slightly runny.
Using a spatula, gently fold the empty half of the omelet over the cheesy vegetable half to create a half-moon shape. Press down lightly to seal.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the center is cooked through.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and a sprig of parsley if desired.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy watching your kids discover the colorful veggie surprise inside!
