POTATO AND VEGETABLE OMELET (BULGARIAN STYLE)



Potato and Vegetable Omelet (Bulgarian Style) image

I just love eggs and often eat breakfast for dinner. Came across this recipe on the Internet and decided to post it for the Zaar World Tour. This particular one is so loaded with good things, it's a one dish meal. Or you can serve it with a simple salad and a little garlic or peasant bread. The original recipe calls for 4 tablespoons of oil, but I'm planning to cut that in half.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 red bell pepper, chopped fine
1 green bell pepper, chopped fine
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
4 tablespoons olive oil
