Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup green bell pepper, diced
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp milk (optional, for a fluffier texture)
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tbsp shredded cheese (cheddar or feta, optional)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients: Dice the bell peppers and slice the avocado.
  • Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs with milk (if using), salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Cook the vegetables: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or olive oil. Sauté the bell peppers for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Pour in the eggs: Spread the peppers evenly in the pan and pour the egg mixture over them. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add cheese (if using): Sprinkle shredded cheese over the omelet and let it melt as the eggs set.
  • Fold the omelet: Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft on top, gently fold the omelet in half. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully set.
  • Serve: Slide the omelet onto a plate, top with fresh avocado slices, and garnish with herbs. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or salsa on top.
  • You can use any type of cheese or skip it for a dairy-free version.
  • Try adding mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrients.
  • Serve with whole-grain toast or a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
