VEGGIE LOVERS' OMELET
This delicious, beautiful-looking omelet is the ideal breakfast for one to whip up quickly before getting started with your day. First, the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms are cooked until crisp-tender, then the spinach is added and heated through until it wilts. The filling is flavored with fresh thyme as well. After the eggs are set, top with the veggie filling, then fold the egg over in the filling to form your omelet. Your breakfast or brunch couldn't be easier! Feel free to swap in any veggies you have on hand-even leftover roasted vegetables work if you add them in with the spinach just to heat through.

Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the omelet from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat: This will help the omelet cook evenly without burning.
- Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet as it cooks: This will help prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you're making a large omelet, cook it in batches.
- Be careful not to overcook the omelet: It should be cooked through but still slightly moist in the center.
- Serve the omelet immediately: It's best when it's hot and fresh.

Omelets are a delicious and versatile breakfast option that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They're also a great way to use up leftovers. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect omelets every time.
