Basic One Egg Veggie-Full Omelet

Basic One Egg Veggie-Full Omelet
submitted by Jenni Lee

Put 2-4 T. chopped onions and green peppers (all veggies are optional, based on what you like) in a small frying pan.
Cover with water and simmer until water is gone and veggies are soft.
Add 1 t. minced garlic and 3 sliced mushrooms.  Spray mushrooms with nonstick spray and saute until mushrooms are soft. Salt and pepper.
Place on a plate.  Whisk egg (can add an egg white) in a cup with a fork.
Spray pan nonstick spray.  Pour egg into pan.  Salt and Pepper When dry enough, flip and cook the other side.  Fold in half and place atop vegetables. 
For a super yummy omelet, next, saute one small chopped tomato and 3 leaves fresh chopped basil and put on top of egg.

Tips:
Keep chopped peppers and onions in a small bowl in the fridge for easy adding to omelets or whole wheat pizza.
Keep a jar of minced garlic in the fridge.
You can add spinach to the mix as well.  Saute it separately.
You can add low fat cheese, but I feel like it doesn't add enough flavor to worry about.
If you don't have time for an omelet, just cook the egg and add salsa.
Omelets with mozzarella cheese and spinach, served in a corn tortilla are also super yummy!
