Carrot Omelette
The Carrot Omelette blends eggs with diced carrot, spring onion, bell pepper, and a splash of milk to create a tender, savory breakfast or light meal. Cooked gently in oil, the omelette holds a soft texture with vegetable tidbits dispersed throughout. Seasoned simply with salt and pepper, it's a colorful and satisfying way to enjoy eggs with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2-3 egg medium-sized
- 2 talks spring onion aka scallions
- ½ medium-sized carrot or 3 Tbsp, peeled and diced or grated
- 2 tablespoon milk (optional)
- ¼ bell pepper diced
- salt or more, to taste, pinch
- black pepper or more, to taste, pinch
- 1-2 teaspoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Crack the eggs into a bowl, and add the carrot, spring onion, milk, bell pepper, and salt. Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs until they achieve a uniform consistency.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet on the stovetop under medium heat.
- Pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan and reduce the heat to a low.
- Allow the omelette to set for just about a minute then use your spatula to move the edges towards the center. This will leave some spaces in the pan; allow the runny eggs to flow into the spaces by slightly tilting your pan or skillet.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, switch off the heat, and use a spatula to carefully fold the carrot omelet. Transfer it to a plate sprinkle with black pepper, and serve.
Notes
- Pre-chop all vegetables and prep ingredients before cooking to avoid overcooking the eggs.
- Use a good non-stick or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking and achieve a smooth surface.
- For a fluffier omelette, whisk egg whites separately and fold gently into the yolk and vegetable mixture.
- Milk is optional and can add slight creaminess to the eggs if used.
- Season to taste with salt and black pepper based on preference.
