Prep Time25 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper finely diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper seeded and finely diced
  • 1/2 cup onion finely diced
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro minced (for pepper/onion mixture)
  • 2 tsp fresh parsley chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cooking oil for sautéing
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups Manchego cheese shredded
  • fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow and red bell peppers, diced onion, and diced jalapeño; sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon minced cilantro and 2 teaspoons chopped parsley; season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set the sautéed vegetables aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs and 1/2 cup milk until well combined.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil or spray. Pour about one-quarter of the egg mixture into the pan, tilting to form an even layer.
  • Spoon one-quarter of the sautéed pepper and onion mixture onto one side of the eggs. Cook until the eggs are mostly set, then flip the omelette and cook briefly until cooked through.
  • Top the cooked omelette with sliced avocado and about one-quarter of the shredded Manchego. Fold the omelette over the filling and transfer to a warm plate. Repeat steps 4–6 three more times to make four omelettes total.
  • Garnish each omelette with additional Manchego cheese if desired and fresh cilantro sprigs, then serve immediately.
