My Home Town Greek Omelet

For some reason in my home town which had Greek origins but is now part of Ukraine, everything delicious is called Greek - even if it's totally French or Jewish, or Chinese - it's all Greek. Here is another "Greek" dish - our favorite summer Sunday breakfast - colorful omelet filled with fresh fragrant veggies.
Ingredients
- 4-6 eggs shopping list
- 1 sweet onion, such as Vidalia, or yellow shopping list
- 1-2 red bell pepper or mix halves of different colored peppers shopping list
- 3-4 medium tomatoes. They have to be ripe! shopping list
- Fresh flat leaf parsley shopping list
- coarse salt, black pepper shopping list
- few pinches of flour shopping list
- pinch of sugar shopping list
- cooking oil shopping list
- shredded Parmesan (for cheese addicts, optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Slice all veggies in uniform way
- Whisk the eggs with a bit of salt, black pepper, and a pinch of sugar.
- Add some flour and whisk well, avoid forming lumps. Don't overdo flour. Eggs should still be liquid.
- Heat the cooking oil in a thick bottom skillet. Swish around to moisten the sides.
- Saute onions and bell peppers first until onions are very fragrant and translucent.
- Toss in tomatoes and saute for 1-2 minutes, until slightly wilted.
- Add salt, pepper and fresh parsley, finely chopped.
- Reduce heat to medium/low and pour the eggs over veggies.
- Immediately cover and let the eggs rise slowly over the next 4-5 min.
- Open, sprinkle Parmesan over the eggs. Cover and cook for another 2 minutes or so.
- Remove from heat and let stand for a couple of minutes without opening
- Slice like pizza and serve.
