Step 1:

If you usually have fried eggs in the morning but want to add some variety to your breakfast, here's how to make a veggie-and-cheese omelet right in a skillet. This easy dish beats out plenty of far more complicated recipes. Start by gathering the ingredients listed above and shown in the photo. I recommend using the freshest eggs you can find.
Step 2:

Prep the vegetables. Peel the onion and slice it into thin half-moons. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into medium, bite-sized pieces. Wash, core, and cut the bell pepper into thin strips.
Step 3:

Heat a skillet with the olive oil and add just the onion for now. Sauté over medium heat, stirring, until translucent. Next, add the prepared tomatoes and bell pepper. Mine is red to match the tomatoes, but you can use another color — or a mix of red, yellow, and green — for an even more colorful, appetizing dish.
Step 4:

Cook everything for about two minutes, stirring so nothing scorches and the flavor stays bright.
Step 5:

Crack the eggs into a deep bowl, season with salt and pepper to taste, and beat well with a fork until smooth. Grate the hard cheese on the fine side of a grater.
Step 6:

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7:

Sprinkle everything with the basil, cheese, and fresh herbs. Cook until set and the cheese has melted.
Step 8:

Serve this showstopper alongside some toast. Enjoy!

If you love eggs for breakfast but are tired of plain fried eggs, give this wonderful omelet a try. The eggs team up with vegetables that add extra goodness, plus cheese that melts into gooey, appetizing strands as it heats. Fresh herbs lend their own note to both the flavor and the look. This easy omelet gives you and your family a full, nourishing breakfast.
How can you tell if an egg is fresh? Crack it into a separate bowl. First, there should be no off smell. The white of a fresh egg is clear and clean. The yolk shouldn't spread — it should be shiny, domed, and firm.
Always wash eggs before using them, since even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. It's best to use a food-safe wash and a brush.
To keep your eyes from watering while you slice onions, rinse the onion and the knife in cold water. Your cutting board won't hold onto the oniony smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon first.
