🥗Healthier: zucchini

Zucchini can be a lower-calorie option.

Chop any vegetables you will be using, such as onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.

Pre-cook the chopped vegetables by sautéing them in a pan with a little oil or butter until they are translucent and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Use three large eggs for the omelet, crack them into a bowl, and whip them to incorporate air without adding any liquid like milk or cream.

Heat a pan with a small amount of oil or butter until the butter is frothy and bubbly.

Pour the whipped eggs into the pan on low heat, using a soft spatula to pull the edges of the omelet towards the center as it cooks.

Once the edges begin to set, add the sautéed vegetables and cheese on one half of the omelet.

Fold the other half over the fillings and let it cook for a minute or two until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.

Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.
