Today I thought I would talk about my least favorite meal of the day, but the most important one: Breakfast. Don't get me wrong I love breakfast, however, I cannot stand the massive amounts of tempting foods presented before me every morning. From bagels to french toast I love it all. Unfortunately, I do not have a private trainer who will be there to snatch the extra cream cheese out of my hand and then immediately put me on a treadmill for intense training, so I have to maintain a healthy morning regimen. With the new workout (which includes weight training) I find it necessary to include protein into all of my meals. Plain eggs can be boring at times and not very filling, so I came up with my own recipe to spice up my morning ritual.
I call this one:
The Perfect Omelette (although perfection is in the eyes, or tummy, of the beholder)
Main Ingredients:
2 large eggs
4-6 dashes of hot sauce (I prefer Cholula)
1/2 tsp skim milk
1-2 tbls of crumbled feta cheese
2 tsp natures seasoning
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
Pam (or cooking spray of your choice)
Extras:
2 tbls sauteed onion (white)
sauteed mushrooms (to your liking)
1 tbls sauteed green pepper
*Note: I usually only add in the onion. These are not the only extras that can be added into this meal, they are however, some of the healthiest ones.
Directions:
1. Saute your extras in the EVOO (you may want to add more EVOO to the veggies depending on the quantity)
2. Put eggs, hot sauce, milk, & seasoning in a bowl and beat until mixed thoroughly
3. Add your extras to the bowl and beat into the mixture
4. Spray Pam into a 10" pan making sure to coat the bottom
5. Add mixture to pan and set the burner to medium heat
6. Once the eggs start to solidify add desired amount of feta cheese
7. Fold egg mixture over to one side to create your omlette making sure to cook through (no one wants a case of salmonella, especially not first thing in the morning)
8. Enjoy!
