Omelets


Eggs are so good for you! High in protein, low in fat.  I eat them almost every morning. When I skip the eggs, I'm hungry by ten.  If you are trying to cut carbs, omelets are a great way to go.  You won't miss the toast, or oatmeal at all!  And the possibilities are endless. Here is the one above:

Italian Omelet

2 eggs
1 tbs milk
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tomato, sliced
1-2 oz fresh mozzarella
oregano
basil

Beat the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a bowl until frothy.  Heat small skillet "Chefs Classic 8"" Non-Stick Hard Anodized Skillet" ) on med until hot.  Spray the skillet with non-stick spray, then pour in eggs.  Turn the heat down to med-low and cover. Check every minute or so, until the eggs barely begin to set.  Add cheese, tomatoes, and herbs to one half  of the omelet. Fold over and cover again until firm.  

Some of my favorites include Italian diced tomatoes and goat cheese,  cheese turkey and sour cream.  A restaurant called Another Broken Egg , has an amazing omelet called the 'Bacado'.  It has bacon, avocado, and Monterrey jack cheese. I make it at home using lower fat cheese, and bacon baked crispy (and fewer eggs of course)

What are your favorite toppings for an omelet?
