1 serving (medium) of Pepper omelet (140 g) has 216 calories. That works out to 154 calories per 100 g. It contains 4.3 g of carbs, 14.3 g of protein, 16 g of fat and 1 g of fiber. Its 25.2 µg of Biotin covers 84% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 2 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A pepper omelet is made by cooking beaten eggs with chopped peppers, often red and green, in a pan. It is a simple home-style breakfast found in many cuisines rather than a dish with one clear place of origin; the peppers may be softened first or stirred straight into the eggs.
The eggs set tenderly around the peppers, which add a mild sweetness and a little bite. Serve it hot for breakfast or brunch, with toast, salad, or a few slices of tomato; it also works as a quick light meal. It provides protein and is relatively rich in fat, so use a modest amount of cooking oil if you would like a lighter omelet.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

To make a pepper omelet, sauté chopped peppers until tender, pour in beaten eggs, and cook over low heat until the eggs are set. Fold the omelet while the top is still slightly moist so it stays tender.
Bell peppers work well in a pepper omelet, whether red, green, or a mix. Red peppers taste sweeter, while green peppers are more assertive; add a little chili if you want heat.
Yes, cook the peppers before adding the eggs to a pepper omelet. This softens them and removes their raw taste, while preventing the eggs from overcooking as you wait for firm peppers to soften.
A pepper omelet can turn watery when peppers release moisture into the eggs. Sauté the peppers until their liquid has evaporated before adding the eggs, and use less of any watery additions such as tomatoes.
Yes, cheese works well in a pepper omelet. Sprinkle grated cheddar over the eggs when they are nearly set, then fold the omelet once the cheese melts; feta is another option for a saltier, tangier result.
Use a well-seasoned nonstick pan and coat its surface with a little cooking fat before adding the eggs to a pepper omelet. Keep the heat moderate and loosen the edges gently as the eggs set.
Yes, onions are a good addition to a pepper omelet. Cook finely chopped onion until softened before adding the peppers, then pour in the eggs; adding raw onion at the end can leave it crunchy and sharp.
A pepper omelet pairs well with toast, a simple green salad, or sliced tomatoes. For breakfast, serve it with potatoes or fruit; for a light lunch, salad makes a fresh counterpoint to the warm eggs.
A cooked pepper omelet keeps for up to 3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Chill it promptly after cooking and reheat until hot throughout; the peppers may soften further after storage.
Yes, you can freeze a pepper omelet, although the eggs may become slightly rubbery and the peppers softer after thawing. Freeze individual portions in airtight packaging, thaw in the refrigerator, and reheat thoroughly before serving.
