The combination of garlic powder and black pepper gives it a delightful zest, while the olive oil adds a healthy touch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this delicious omelet in no time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the 4 large eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add the 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 2 dashes of salt to the eggs.
- Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs together with the seasonings until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Ensure the oil is evenly distributed across the surface by swirling the pan gently.
- Pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet, letting it spread evenly across the pan.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they start to set around the edges.
- Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the eggs are mostly set.
- Once the omelet is mostly cooked with just a slight wetness on top, use the spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half.
- Continue to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, ensuring the omelet is fully cooked but still tender inside.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate.
- You can garnish with some fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Garlic-Pepper Omelet with Olive Oil!
Tips:
- For added flavor and texture, consider incorporating ingredients like chopped onions, bell peppers, or spinach into the egg mixture.
- Make sure to use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking and to make flipping or folding easier.
- Cook the omelet over medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
- For a fluffier omelet, add a splash of milk or water to the egg mixture before cooking.
This Garlic-Pepper Omelet with Olive Oil is a quick and easy recipe that is sure to become a favorite.
