About Veggie Thyme Over-stuffed Omelet for Two
My Veggie Thyme Over-stuffed Omelet is a single skillet dish. The onions and mushrooms will start to caramelize while the peppers are perfect at crisp-tender. The spinach will wilt, while the thyme becomes fragrant.
I finish the omelet in the oven. That ensures that the eggs don’t
over-brown on the bottom, and they stay tender. Most omelets involve cheese, but I don’t think this needs it. But, you can always add a little feta or Parmesan if it strikes your fancy. Have fun making and sharing my Veggie Thyme Over-stuffed Omelet for Two!

Step by Step Instructions
Veggie Thyme Over-stuffed Omelet for Two
Equipment
- medium-sized oven-proof omelet skillet
Ingredients
- canola cooking spray
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 cup thinly sliced red or yellow bell pepper
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- =====
- 1 1/2 cups baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
- =====
- canola cooking spray
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Heat a medium-sized oven-proof omelet skillet, coated with cooking spray, over medium heat on your stovetop.
- Add the onion, peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until peppers are crisp-tender.
- Stir in the spinach and thyme leaves and continue to sauté, stirring constantly, until the spinach wilts, 1 minute. Remove the mixture to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
- Whisk the eggs with the milk and salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Heat the same skillet, coated with cooking spray, over medium heat. Add in the eggs and heat until the edges begin to set and lift from the pan.
- Place the skillet in the oven until the eggs are set on top, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Put the reserved vegetables on one-half of the eggs and fold the other side on top. Carefully remove the omelet to a serving dish or split between two plates for two servings.
