Key Ingredients Explained
Eggs
Eggs make this easy vegetable omelette recipe soft and firm. “Firm” means the eggs are set, not runny. Beat means mix fast with a fork.
Onion, tomato, and bell pepper
These vegetables add colour and taste. A bell pepper is a sweet, crisp vegetable. It is not hot. Chop small means cut into tiny pieces.
Cheese
