Preparation
  1. Add a bit of oil to a small frying pan over medium heat and sauté diced red and green bell peppers for 3 minutes until softened.

  3. In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until fully blended.
Cooking the Omelette
  1. Heat oil in an 8-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat; then pour half the beaten eggs into the pan.
  2. After 30 seconds, gently disturb the cooked edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow in.
  3. Continue cooking until a thin layer of liquid egg remains on top, about another 30 seconds.
  4. Spoon half of the tuna mixture onto one half of the omelette and fold over to create a semi-circle.
  5. Cook for another minute to seal the edges, then flip to cook for an additional minute.
  6. Transfer the omelette to a plate; garnish with chopped chives, sea salt, and black pepper.
  7. Repeat the process with remaining ingredients for a second omelette.

Notes

Consider adding garlic or onion powder to the eggs for extra flavor. For a spicy kick, incorporate diced jalapeños. Adjust tuna and cream cheese amounts to taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet. Variations include substituting tuna with salmon or adding spinach and feta.
