ZUCCHINI CARROT & ONION STUFFED OMELETTE

Stuffed omelettes are the best thing to happen to my breakfast. I always used to have my eggs just plain sandwiched between slices of bread. Then I discovered stuffed omelette, my life has never been the same! I know, sounds exaggerated, but oh so true. I have been having so much fun coming up with different stuffing for my omelette. Today I wanted to incorporate veggies, especially vibrant crunchy vegetables. This is a great way to have someone who does not like to eat veggies enjoy them. After all, most people do not like vegetables because they tend to be overcooked so in turn become mushy. The best way to make vegetables delicious is to satay them and add some spices which elevates the flavor to another level. Omelettes need not be boring, I promise this is perfect!
