Method
 

Preparation
  1. Sauté the diced red and green bell peppers in a small frying pan with a bit of oil over medium heat until they start to soften, approximately 3 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat to retain the bright colors and crunch.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the sautéed bell peppers with the drained tuna and cream cheese. Mix well and set aside.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, beat the six eggs until fully blended.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in an 8-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Pour in half of the egg mixture and wait about 30 seconds until the eggs at the bottom start to set.
  3. Gently disturb the cooked egg with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow into the gaps.
  4. When the top has a thin layer of liquid egg, spoon half of the tuna mixture onto one half of the omelette.
  5. Carefully lift the other edge of the egg and fold it over to create a semi-circle, sealing it with the spatula.
  6. Allow the omelette to cook for another minute, then flip it to cook the other side for an additional minute.
  7. Gently transfer the completed omelette to a plate and garnish with chives, sea salt, and pepper.
Repeat
  1. Follow the same steps to make a second omelette with the remaining ingredients.
  2. Enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier twist, consider adding diced jalapeños to the bell pepper mixture. Experiment with different cheese types—such as feta or cheddar—for varied flavor profiles. Use pre-cooked tuna for even quicker prep.
