Quick Summary

This omelet balances protein-rich eggs with colorful, antioxidant-dense bell peppers. It is a fast, 10-minute meal designed for sustained energy.

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 oz goat cheese (optional)

Preparation

1. Sauté the diced peppers in olive oil over medium heat until tender, about 4 minutes.
2. Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl until uniform.
3. Pour eggs over the peppers. Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
4. Fold gently and serve while warm.

Stewart's Secret: For the fluffiest texture, whisk your eggs just until the whites and yolks are combined—don't over-aerate. A tiny splash of water in the egg mixture creates steam during cooking, resulting in a lighter fold.
