Your ingredients for a delicious omelette:

- 3 fresh eggs
- A pinch of salt
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- A slice of yellow bell pepper (approximately 50 g)
- 2 green onion leaves
- Half a tomato (approximately 100 g)
- 4 green or black olives, finely chopped
- 50 g cheese (preferably feta, but you can use any type of cheese you prefer)

Step by step, let’s embark on an adventure together in preparing this savory omelette!

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing all the vegetables. Cut the yellow bell pepper into small cubes so that it integrates perfectly into the omelette. Finely chop the green onion, and dice the tomato. If you are using olives, make sure they are pitted and finely chopped.

2. Beating the eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the 3 eggs. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Use a whisk or a fork to beat the eggs vigorously until they become frothy. In this step, aerating the eggs is essential to achieving a fluffy omelette.

3. Mixing the ingredients: Add the chopped vegetables (yellow bell pepper, green onion, and tomato) to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Then, add the olives and crumbled cheese. Gently mix all the ingredients with a spatula so that they are evenly distributed, but without losing the air from the eggs.

4. Cooking the omelette: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil or butter. When the oil is hot, pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the skillet. Let the omelette cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges become firm, and the center is still slightly wet.

5. Folding the omelette: Use a spatula to gently fold the omelette in half. Continue to cook for another minute, then you can serve it immediately, either straight from the skillet or on a plate.

6. Serving and variations: The everything omelette is delicious both warm and at room temperature. You can serve it alongside a fresh green salad, toasted bread, or even with a tomato salsa to enhance its flavors.

Personal suggestion: Add a few spinach leaves or sautéed mushrooms for a nutrient-rich variation. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar or mozzarella, to give it a personal touch.
