Veggie Western Omelet
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced red onions
- 2 cups diced bell peppers
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sprinkling of black pepper
- In a 10-inch skillet on medium-high heat, cook the onions and peppers in the oil, stirring frequently, until the onions soften but the peppers are still firm, about 7 minutes.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs, a tablespoon of water, and the salt and pepper with a fork until frothy.
- Slowly pour the eggs over the peppers and onions.
- Lower the heat and cook for 3 or 4 minutes, until the eggs are set and beginning to brown on the bottom.
- With the edge of a spatula, cut the omelet into 4 wedges.
- Turn the wedges over and cook on the second side for a minute or two, until browned.
- (If you use a nonstick skillet, you may be able to flip the whole thing.)
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
- Add cheese: Cheddar, a smoked cheese, or feta.
- Serve with Tomato Tortilla Soup (page 117), or top the omelet with your favorite tomato salsa or sliced tomatoes and serve with toast or cheese grits (page 162).
