Sauté diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach with the onions for added nutrients and flavor.
Add a pinch of ground cumin or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the egg mixture before whisking.

It can be part of a healthy diet. It's high in protein and low in carbs. However, it's also high in saturated fat and sodium from the cheese and butter. For a healthier version, use less cheese, substitute butter with olive oil, and serve with a side of fresh fruit or salad.
Authentic Hatch green chiles from New Mexico offer the best smoky and earthy flavor. If you can't find them, high-quality canned diced green chiles are a great and convenient substitute. Be sure to drain them well.
A rubbery texture is usually caused by overcooking the eggs or using a heat that is too high. Cook on medium-low heat and remove the omelet from the pan when the center is still slightly moist and glossy. It will continue to cook from residual heat.
Yes, the green chile and onion filling can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This makes breakfast preparation much quicker.
Absolutely. Replace the butter with a neutral oil or plant-based butter, use an unsweetened plant-based milk (like almond or soy), and substitute the Monterey Jack with your favorite dairy-free shredded cheese.
