Method

Omelet Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and chopped spinach. Sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Egg Mixture

    Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Cook on medium heat until the edges start to set.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese and Finish Cooking

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the omelet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a plate.

Hashbrowns Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the potatoes. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean towel.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Onions

    In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 7

    Cook the Hashbrowns

    Add the grated potatoes to the skillet with onions. Season with salt and black pepper. Press down with a spatula and cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until both sides are crispy.

Bread Preparation

  1. 8

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the slices of whole grain or sourdough bread in a toaster until golden brown. For the English muffin, split it in half and toast until crispy.
