Ingredients

  • Eggs - 4 large
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
  • Red bell pepper - 1, diced
  • Tomato - 1 large, diced
  • Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika until well combined.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the diced red bell pepper and tomato to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir to distribute the vegetables evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and cilantro over the top of the omelette. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
  6. Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, cut it in half, and serve warm.
