Ingredients For Vegetable Omelette 

This vegetable omelette recipe requires only a few easy-to-find ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. 

So here is a list of everything you will need:

Ingredients Vegetable Omelette
  • Eggs – use room temperature eggs to avoid any eggy flavor or smell.
  • Salt & Pepper – to taste. Feel free to add your favorite seasonings as well.
  • Olive Oil – you can also replace it with butter.
  • Bell Pepper – I used red pepper, but you can also use green bell pepper or a mix of both colors.
  • Onion – you will need a medium white onion finely chopped.
  • Mushrooms – feel free to use your favorite type of mushrooms.
  • Cheddar Cheese – you can also use mozzarella or parmesan cheese.
  • Avocado – for serving the vegetable omelette.

How To Make Vegetable Omelette 

Breakfast has never been easier to prepare; once you see how easy it is to make this healthy avocado veggie omelette, you will want to make it over and over again. So here are the steps that you need to follow:

Make the Vegetable Filling

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Next, add the chopped pepper and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until soft and browned. Transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.

Whisk The Eggs

Add the eggs, salt, and pepper to a bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside while making the filling mixture. It’s important to salt the eggs properly for a super tender and fluffy omelette.

Cook the Omelette

Add 1/2 tbsp of olive oil to the same pan and pour the egg mixture. Cook the omelette on low heat for a few minutes until it’s cooked evenly.

Assemble the Veggie Omelette

Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked vegetables over half the omelette, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Cover the vegetables and cheese with the other half of the omelette and cook for one more minute until the cheese is melty.

Remove from the skillet and enjoy with slices of avocado.

Recipe Variations

Another great thing about this recipe is that it can be made according to your taste by adding your favorite vegetables. Here are some great ideas:

  • Zucchini
  • Tomatoes
  • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Green Onions
  • Mozzarella Cheese

Tips For Making A Perfect Veggie Omelette

  • Make sure to use the right pan size – It’s essential to use the right pan size to make sure that the omelette it’s not too thin or too thick. I recommend choosing a nonstick skillet that’s 8 or 10 inches in diameter.
  • Use room-temperature eggs – It’s not essential but highly recommended if you want your omelette to cook faster.
  • Cook the omelette over medium-low heat to ensure it cooks without getting rubbery.
  • Don’t add too much filling over the omelette as it may break.
  • Let the eggs rest – After mixing the eggs, let the mixture rest for a few minutes for perfect results and a fluffy texture.
  • Don’t overcook your veggie omelette because it continues cooking in the pan after adding the filling.

Storing Ideas

  • Fridge: you can store this vegetable omelette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: I don’t recommend freezing the omelette since, once thawed, the vegetables will become soggy, and the taste will be different.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Omelet Vs. Omelette

If you are wondering what’s the difference between an omelette and an omelet, you will need to know that there is no difference expecting the spelling. While omelet is used in American English, the omelette is the spelling used by British people.

Why Does My Omelette Break?

That may happen if you didn’t wait enough until folding it. To avoid breaking your omelette, you will have to wait until it is cooked and solidified, then fold it using a silicone spatula over the vegetables.

Traditional french omelette recipe doesn’t require milk, but if you want to add 2 tbsp of milk for a velvety texture.

Sure, if you are following a dairy-free diet, you can still enjoy this recipe by skipping the cheddar cheese.

Can I Make This Vegetable Omelette Ahead Of Time?

Personally, I like to enjoy this vegetable omelette freshly cooked in the morning. Still, if you are having a busy day, you can prepare it in advance and reheat it in the morning in the microwave.

If you are not a fan of reheated omelette, you can only prepare the vegetables in advance, then all you need to do is crack the eggs and cook the omelet for a few minutes. Then fill it with vegetables and enjoy.

Do I Have To Flip My Omelette?

No, the omelette doesn’t need to be cooked on both sides. 

It only has to be cooked over high heat without a lid until fluffy, then filled with your favorite vegetables.
