How to make Loaded Veggie Omelette

Tips from the cook

  • Cook the filling first and take it out of the pan, so the vegetables do not make the eggs watery.
  • Let the eggs spread and set before you add the filling.
  • Cover the pan with a lid for a minute, so the cheese melts.
  • No mushrooms? Spinach works as a swap.
  • Eat it at once, as omelettes turn rubbery as they sit.
