Ingredients

• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 0.25 cup onion
• 0.25 cup bell pepper
• 0.5 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 0.25 cup low sodium cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk and a pinch of black pepper. Beat thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the mixture is uniformly combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Chop the onion and bell pepper finely. Wash and roughly chop the spinach leaves.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until it wilts. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.

Step 7

Gently push the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the sautéed vegetables evenly over one half of the omelet.

Step 9

Add the low sodium cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables.

Step 10

Fold the omelet in half using the spatula and let it cook for another minute until the cheese is slightly melted.

Step 11

Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately for a healthy, delicious breakfast.
