Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 large
• Fresh parsley - 30 grams, chopped
• Fresh mint - 15 grams, chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Bell pepper - 1 small, diced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
4. Stir in the diced tomato, chopped parsley, and mint, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables, tilting the pan to ensure even distribution.
6. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the edges begin to set, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
7. If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and cover the skillet with a lid.

9. Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half, and serve warm.
