Omelettes

I love me some gooood omelettes!! I like just about any kind of omelette; cheeese, ham & cheese, bacon & onion...you name it I probably love it! I have learned over the course of my 21 Day Fix journey that we get to eat a lot of food. By golly I love that too!! I love eggs because they are easy, plain and simple. So here are a couple of my favourite variations I'd like to share with you.

Basic Egg White

Cooking Spray

1/2 c egg whites (or 3-4 large eggs, whites only)

Spray heated pan, add egg whites. Cook until edges have set and middle of omelette looks just a little bit runny. Fold omelette, a third on one side and a third on the other side towards the middle of the omelette. Let cook 1-2 minutes longer, flip omelette over and allow to cook 1-2 minutes longer. Place on a plate...enjoy!

Now this is the basic version of my omelette that I use. No fancy extras like milk, margarine/butter or salt and pepper. To this I add many different variations, my favourite goes like this:

cooking Spray

3 whole mushrooms sliced

1/4 medium onion (any kind will do)

1/4 bell pepper (any colour)

Hand full of frozen or fresh spinach (I've also been known to use kale here)

1-2 TBSP light feta cheese

1-2 TBSP pico de gallo or salsa

Heat pan over medium heat, spray with cooking spray. Saute veggies until soft and spinach (or kale) has just begun to wilt. Pour egg whites over top and cook 3-4 minute longer, once omelette is ready to fold you can go ahead and sprinkle feta along the middle section and than fold. Let cook 1-2 minutes longer and flip (it might be a little messy because there is a lot of veggies in there). Once it is ready you can flip that baby onto a plate and top with pico de gallo. 

I sometimes will add crispy tortilla wedges (1 Yellow) to make it a complete meal. You can find that recipe here.

I count this meal as 1 Red, 1 Green, 1/2 Blue.
