Ingredients

100 g Cooking oil

to taste Salt

1 tablespoon Black pepper

1 Bell pepper

bunch Fresh coriander

1 Onion

2 Tomatoes

2 Eggs

Directions

  1. Finely dice the onion, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Chop the fresh coriander into small pieces.

  2. Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat them thoroughly until well combined.

  3. Add the diced vegetables and coriander to the beaten eggs. Season generously with salt and black pepper, then stir well to combine all ingredients.

  4. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

  5. Once the oil is hot, pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the pan. Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until the bottom begins to set and turn light golden.

  6. Using an egg slice or spatula, gently flip the omelette and cook the other side for an additional 2–3 minutes until the eggs are fully set and reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Both sides should be golden brown.

  7. Transfer the cooked omelette to a serving plate and serve hot.

A Spanish omelette hits well for Charlotte families: eggs, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes are pantry staples at every major grocer, and the cost per serving runs around $1.50–$2.00 depending on egg prices and whether you use fresh or canned tomato. The stated 25 minutes is honest for slicing and cooking, though browning the potato layer (notably absent from this ingredient list) and getting the top to set typically takes closer to 35 minutes if you're doing it properly. The dish reheats fine and feeds six as a side or light supper, though coriander is an odd choice here—a traditional recipe uses parsley—and sourcing it fresh at Harris Teeter or Kroger adds a minor inconvenience when dried would work fine. Missing potatoes is the real gap; a proper Spanish omelette centers on thin-sliced potatoes, which would add maybe $1 per serving and 15 minutes of prep time, making this version lighter but less authentic.
