Calfornia Superfood Omelette
Omelettes are high in protein, which makes you feel full and helps you to manufacture S Factor hormones. Eggs also contain vitamin D, which is an appetite suppressant, and the yolks contain choline which helps you feel sharp and focused. They’re the perfect way to start your day.
MAKES: 4 servings
PREPARATION TIME: 10 minutes
COOKING TIME: 20 minutes
extra virgin olive oil cooking spray
12 eggs, beaten
100g/3½oz reduced-fat mature cheese,
grated
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
4 handfuls of alfalfa sprouts
1 handful of chopped coriander leaves
1 lemon, halved, plus extra wedges
to serve
fine sea salt and freshly ground black
pepper
1 Preheat the grill to medium-high and mist a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray. Season the eggs with salt and pepper and lightly whisk with a fork.
2 Add one-quarter of the egg mixture to the pan, shaking the pan to evenly coat the base. Put the pan under the grill for 5 minutes, occasionally pulling the edges of the mixture towards the centre of the pan, until set.
3 Slide the omelette onto a plate. Sprinkle one-quarter of the cheese, tomatoes, avocados, sprouts and coriander over the top, followed by a squeeze of lemon juice. Fold the omelette in half to enclose the fillings and cover it with foil to keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture and fillings to make 3 more omelettes, misting the pan again with cooking spray if necessary. Serve hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
