Instructions

1. ️⃣ Prep the Sautéed Veggies: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers, mushrooms, and onion. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly caramelized. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Set aside.
2. ️⃣ Make the Omelette: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and let cook undisturbed for a minute until the edges start to set. Sprinkle the mushrooms and shredded cheese on one half. Gently fold the omelette and cook for 1–2 minutes more until cheese is melty and the eggs are set.
3. ️⃣ Plate & Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and spoon the sautéed veggies alongside. Garnish with chopped chives or hot sauce if you like a kick!
