My 31st recipe, “Vegan Omelette (Spanish Style)”, a quick and easy dish perfect for a lazy Sunday breakfast. I was thinking long and hard today morning, trying to decide on what breakfast to prepare. Though the bright sunny day was urging me to cook something delicious for breakfast, the usual Sunday morning laziness was holding me back tight. Finally the overwhelming thought of preparing and enjoying this omelette within a short time, gave me the needed boost. It is something you can prepare in less than 15 mins; and sit down and enjoy with your family along with a hot cup of coffee.

| )7 | Pour the beaten mixture into the pan. Cook covered in medium-low flame for 5-10 mins, based on the thickness of the omelette and size of the pan.

Notes:-
| • | Instead of coriander and mint, you can use any fresh herbs. | |
| • | You can add potatoes and other veggies as well to the omelette. Add them along with the onions. | |
| • | For flipping the omelette, place a flat plate on top of the pan. Now invert the pan upside down. Now slowly slide the omelette from the plate to the pan. | |
