Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat dairy-free butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add 1/4 cup diced bell peppers and sauté for 3 minutes until crisp-tender and edges are golden.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/2 cup fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted and bright green, about 1 minute.
  3. Step 3: Whisk 2 large eggs with a pinch of salt in a bowl until fully combined, then pour over the vegetables. Gently lift edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath until set, about 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 2 tbsp goat cheese crumbles and 1 tsp chopped dill over one half of the omelet, then fold the other half over to enclose. Cook for 30 seconds until cheese melts, then slide onto a plate.
