Description
A fluffy and nutritious Tuna Omelette packed with protein and flavor, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced
- Oil (for cooking)
- 1/2 5-ounce can tuna in spring water, drained
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 6 large eggs
- Sea salt
- Coarse ground black pepper
- Chives (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Add oil to a small frying pan and sauté the red and green bell peppers on medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, mix the bell peppers, tuna, and cream cheese together, and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- Heat oil in an 8-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour in half the eggs, letting them set for about 30 seconds, gently disturbing the cooked egg to allow uncooked egg to flow in. Repeat until a thin layer of liquid egg remains on top, about 30 seconds.
- Spoon half of the tuna mixture onto one half of the egg, fold the omelette over, and cook for an additional minute. Transfer to a plate, garnish with chives, sea salt, and pepper.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second omelette.
Notes
For a fluffier omelette, stir eggs gently and ensure the pan is hot before cooking.
