Including Easy Recipes Using Eggs
Omelets Are Packed With Nutrition
They are super filling and contain minimal calories. No wonder they call it the edible, incredible egg!
Try an omelet for breakfast tomorrow and see how long your tummy stays satisfied. Our suggested recipe for a low calorie omelet is: 2 slightly beaten eggs of any size (ostrich eggs excluded!!) PLUS a dash of milk, salt and pepper.
Cook in a non-stick skillet sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking. When omelet is 'set' on one side (meaning that the eggs are no longer extra runny), carefully flip.
Add any chopped veggie that you wish, and up to one slice of crumbled bacon or deli ham if desired PLUS 1/2 slice of your favorite cheese. Be sure to add the ingredients to the side of the omelet, then flip in half to finalize.
We enjoy any and all of the following in our omelets that have been sauteed before adding to the omelet: chopped or sliced mushrooms, olives, chopped broccoli, baby spinach, chopped onions.
