Veggie omelettes are a great nutrient packed, high protein breakfast and can be made in just a few short minutes. Make this recipe your own, personal “perfect omelette” by adding your favorite veggies and cheeses to the filling.
Veggie Omelette Secrets to Success
Use a Non-Stick Pan
The trick to these omelettes is a non-stick skillet or pan. It is the best thing to make omelets in. I have one non-stick pan and I only use it for omelets. It is a must for flipping omelettes without rips or breaks. Another great tool to have is a heat-resistant rubber spatula. It will help you flip like a pro!
Cook Over Medium-Low Heat
Another tip is to cook your omelette over medium-low heat. You don’t want to overcook the eggs at all. You want to make a nice, fluffy, yellow egg-pancake and then fill it and fold it. I swear it’s as easy as it sounds! Just follow my simple instructions and you’ll be on your way to a great breakfast.
Alternative Cooking Method
Omelettes in a pan really aren’t that scary! You can do it! However, if you want an alternative to making your omelet in a pan, try our Omelette in a Bag recipe! I love both of these recipes equally and use them interchangeably. Both turn out great. It really just depends on how you feel like preparing them.
What Vegetables Go Well With Omelettes?
This is a terrific breakfast, brunch or snack to make when you need to clean out the fridge. Basically if it’s a veggie, it can be added to this dish. Some of my favorite vegetable ingredients are:
spinach mushrooms onions tomatoes red bell pepper (or any other color of bell peppers) avocado
More Veggie Options:
This recipe is a terrific way to use up any leftover vegetables before they get too ripe. Dice up a ton of veggies and toss them in! I love serving these omelettes to my kids too. They get a giant serving of vegetables without even knowing it!
squash/zucchini green beans artichokes Brussels sprouts asparagus turnips carrots broccoli kale
What Cheese is Best in Omelettes?
The possibilities here are endless. I love a good pepper Jack cheese for my omelettes because it has a little kick and it melts well. Other good melty cheeses you can use are: cheddar, cheddar Jack, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, and Mexican blend. You can also get creative and use crumbly cheeses like queso fresco or feta.
What to Serve with Veggie Omelettes
This satisfying dish can be served all on its own, or add a side of toast and fruit for a complete meal. These are really fun to make and serve friends and family for brunch, where you can set up an omelette station and have guests add their own favorite ingredients.
