How to Make Casual Omelet

  1. **Prep the Veggies:** In a small bowl, combine the chopped sweet pepper, onion, red wine vinegar, and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. **Prep the Skillet:** Spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
  3. **Whisk the Eggs:** In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs (or egg substitute), chives, salt, and red pepper with a whisk or electric mixer until light and frothy.
  4. **Cook the Omelet:** Pour the egg mixture into the prepared skillet over medium heat. Cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  5. **Add the Cheese and Filling:** Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top, sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Distribute 3/4 cup of the chopped spinach evenly over the cheese, followed by 2 tablespoons of the red pepper mixture.
  6. **Fold and Finish:** Gently fold one side of the omelet over the filling. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup spinach and 1 tablespoon of the red pepper mixture.
  7. **Serve:** Transfer the omelet to a plate. Serve immediately with fresh fruit, if desired. Enjoy!
