Description

Imagine starting your day, or ending it, with a vibrant omelet bursting with savory flavors and satisfying textures. This isn't just any omelet; it's a hearty, wholesome creation packed with delicious ingredients that will leave you feeling energized and content. The foundation of this dish is a fluffy, golden omelet, cooked to perfection, providing a delicate and slightly crisp exterior that gives way to a soft, yielding interior.

Nestled within this tender egg blanket is a medley of colorful, fresh vegetables. Crisp bell peppers, sweet onions, and earthy mushrooms are sautéed until tender-crisp, adding a delightful textural contrast to the smooth omelet. These vegetables not only contribute essential vitamins and minerals but also infuse the omelet with their natural sweetness and subtle vegetal notes.

Adding a touch of smoky spice is the inclusion of finely diced chorizo. This flavorful sausage, with its distinctive paprika-infused taste, lends a rich, savory depth to the omelet. The chorizo's slightly firm texture complements the softness of the eggs and vegetables, creating a symphony of sensations in every bite.

Its subtle heat awakens the palate and adds an exciting dimension to the overall flavor profile. And of course, no omelet is complete without cheese! Generous amounts of cheddar cheese are melted throughout the omelet's filling, creating pockets of gooey, cheesy goodness.

The cheddar's sharp, tangy flavor cuts through the richness of the other ingredients, adding a pleasant counterpoint that balances the overall taste. As you cut into the omelet, the melted cheese stretches and oozes, creating an irresistible visual appeal. This versatile omelet is perfect for any meal of the day.

Whether you're looking for a satisfying brunch, a quick and easy lunch, or a comforting dinner, this dish is sure to please. Serve it alongside a plate of steamed vegetables for a complete and nutritious meal, or pair it with a refreshing green salad for a lighter option. The possibilities are endless!

Its vibrant colors and enticing aroma make it a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Prepare to be delighted by the harmonious blend of flavors and textures in this exceptional omelet.

Instructions

    1.
    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over a low/medium heat. Slice the chorizo into 1/4 inch discs and add to the pan, cook through until golden brown and the chorizo begins to release its oil. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
    2.
    Crush the garlic and add to the pan along with the onion, sweat gently until tender.
    3.
    Finely chop the rosemary and add to the pan, stir to combine. Slice the tomatoes in half and add to the pan, cooking for a minute to soften.
    4.
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
    5.
    Whilst the tomatoes are cooking, add the eggs to a mixing bowl along with the grated cheese, salt and pepper. Beat well to combine.
    6.
    Return the chorizo to the pan along with the spinach and stir well so the spinach is just wilted.
    7.
    Pour over the egg and cheese mixture. Allow the omelet to cook for a minute or two in the pan over a medium heat until starting to set around the edges.
    8.
    Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 4-5 minutes until just cooked through and golden brown all over.
