Veggie Omelet/Frittata

Whether you want to call it a frittata, an omelet, or even if you mess it up because you cannot seem to flip/fold it properly and it turns into a scramble, you can’t go wrong with eggs for breakfast, especially when you add veggies. It truly is one of the best breakfast for weight loss.

There has been some debate on how to make the fluffiest egg concoction when making an omelet, and I suppose the answer to this age-old question would be that it depends on how you like your eggs. I tested out some of the most popular methods in this article, but lately I have been going with a whole new method, which I will share with you in my new recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup shredded cheese
• Chopped veggies of your choice
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Whisk eggs and cream together until well blended.
2. Pour egg mixture onto heated skillet pan (that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray).
3. When bubbles begin to form, add cheese and veggies to one side.
4. Gently fold other side on top and turn heat off.
5. Enjoy!

Chef Note: You can use any veggies you have on hand—there is really no wrong way to create an omelet.

Chef Note: To make a frittata, simply top with cheese and veggies over the entire egg mixture in pan, and do not fold over.

Chef Note: If your omelet or frittata breaks, just scramble it up and serve as is. No harm, no foul!
