This omelette is easy to make and has the tasty tang of a pizza without the carbs or calories.
Ingredients:
3 Free range eggs
2 egg whites (two chicks egg whites in a carton is a good source)
100 grams of baby leaf spinach
50g asparagus halved
30 grams feta cheese
5 cherry tomatoes, halved
Quarter of a red pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon pesto
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or parsley leaves
salt and black pepper to season
Method:
Whisk the eggs and egg whites together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the butter in a frying pan and add the spinach and asparagus, and gently fry for 2-3 minutes.
Now, add the tomato halves and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Next, gently pour over the egg mix until the pan is fully covered and allow to cook for 2 minutes, so that the bottom cooks but the top is still quite runny.
Break up the feta cheese into small chunks, and scatter over the top of the omelette.
Sprinkle over the fresh thyme leaves or parsley leaves and place under a hot grill to finish for 3-4 minutes, until the omelette is golden brown and fluffy. Careful with the handle of the pan it will get hot.
