Start your day with an omelet: a quick, fluffy delight that's as nourishing as it is delicious. Packed with fresh veggies, melty cheese, and aromatic herbs, it's the perfect breakfast to power up your morning or to enjoy as a tasty, satisfying snack. Best of all? It's ready in a flash – under 30 minutes!
In a bowl, crack open the eggs, and add crushed pepper and salt.
Beat the eggs until they turn frothy and set them aside for later use.
Pour oil into a pan over medium heat, add onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté until the veggies turn soft, then reserve them for later use. You can opt for other vegetables if you like.
In the same pan over medium heat, pour in the frothy egg mixture. Cook for a minute or until it sets at the edges.
With a heatproof rubber or silicone spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the pan for even cooking.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and add the previously sautéed veggies to one side of the omelet. Fold it in half and let it cook for another minute. Your fluffy, delicious omelet is now ready to savor.

Notes
Mastering the Perfect Omelet: Essential Tips
Fluffiness: Whisk the eggs until frothy for that coveted fluffy texture. A good whisk sets the foundation for a light, airy omelet.
Fillings: While bell peppers and onions are my go-tos, don't hesitate to get creative with veggies, meats, or various cheeses for a personalized touch.
Filling Proportion: Keep the fillings balanced; overloading can cause them to spill out of the omelet.
Heat Control: Cook your omelet on medium heat to ensure even cooking without over-browning one side.
Flipping: Avoid flipping an omelet stuffed with fillings to prevent any spillage.
Spatula: Use a silicone or rubber spatula for folding and serving the omelet to maintain its integrity.
Fat Choice: Olive oil is my healthy pick, but butter for richness or other oils can be used based on your preference.
Cookware: An 8-inch non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron pan is ideal for that perfect omelet.
Omelette Filling Tips:
Spinach Delight: Mix in fresh spinach leaves with or without a cheese of your choice, perhaps with a slice of tomato for a healthy yet hearty filling.
Bacon Bliss: Combine crispy bacon with a salty cheese for an irresistible duo.
Mushroom Medley: Sauté mushrooms in butter with herbs of your choice and tuck them into your omelet for a savory treat.
Ham and Veggie Mix: Sauté ham along with your preferred veggies and add it to your omelet for an extra protein punch.
Broccoli and Parmesan: Broccoli florets with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese create a crunchy and nutritious filling.
Potato and Gruyère: Roasted potatoes paired with melted Gruyère cheese make for a rich and satisfying meal.
Savory Onion, Tomato, and Herbs: A classic combination of onions, tomatoes, and fresh herbs like coriander can elevate a simple omelet to a flavorful meal, perfect for sandwiching between bread or enjoying with a hot cup of coffee.
