Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2.1 ounces cheese 60 g, shredded
  • 1/4 cup mixed red and green bell pepper 40 g, finely diced
  • 2 slices toast bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter 30 g
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the shredded cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a little of the butter. Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until softened and lightly golden. Remove from the pan.
  3. Cut a hole in the center of each bread slice. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet and place the bread slices in the pan.
  4. Spoon the cooked onion and pepper mixture into the center of each bread slice.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, letting it fill the cutout centers and spread across the tops.
  6. Cook over low to medium-low heat until the egg is mostly set and the underside is golden.
  7. Carefully flip with a spatula and cook the second side until golden and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use sandwich bread for the easiest shape and even cooking.
  • Mozzarella, cheddar, or a mixed shredded cheese all work well here.
  • Fresh parsley can be swapped with cilantro or chives.
  • Cook the vegetables first so the final bread omelette does not turn watery.
  • For more flavor, add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes to the egg mixture.
  • If your bread slices are small, use slightly less filling so they hold together bette
