• Once the potatoes are golden, stir in the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and begin to brown.
• Meanwhile, beat eggs together with salt and pepper. Pour eggs into pan and stir gently to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook until eggs begin to brown on the bottom.
• Loosen bottom of omelet with a spatula, invert a large plate over the pan, and carefully turn the omelet out onto it. Slide the omelet back into the pan with the uncooked side down. Cook until eggs are set. Garnish omelet with tomato and green onion and serve warm.

BELL PEPPER VEGETARIAN OMELET

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, if using. Vigorously beat together with a fork, incorporating as much air as possible. Reserve.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the diced onion, if using, and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until tender.
• Add the chopped peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or just until the bell peppers are slightly tender. Turn off the heat.
• Let the vegetables cool slightly, then add them to the reserved beaten eggs and combine well.
• Using several paper towels, carefully wipe off the skillet and place it back over medium-low heat.
• Add the butter and move the pan around to make sure the butter coats the entire bottom.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
• Tilt the pan as you lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked parts in the middle to flow out to the edges. This helps the eggs to cook quicker and more evenly.
• Allow your vegetable omelet to cook until the bottom of the eggs is solid but not brown at all.
• Using a rubber spatula, flip it over entirely and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring to a plate. Or, fold the omelet in half and slide it off the pan onto a plate. The interior should be moist but not raw. Cut in half for 2 servings and enjoy!
