Omelettes are brilliant for any meal of the day and you can experiment with as many different fillings you like. This one is delicious and provides a lot of goodness: courgettes are low in calories with plenty of fibre and vitamin c; kale is packed full of nutrients and will give you lots of energy and sweetcorn is full of fibre as well as making the omelette really tasty. Eggs, of course, are a fab source of protein which will keep you full up and bursting with energy all afternoon. If you want to make it into more of a meal, add some low GI carbs by having some new potatoes or wholemeal bread on the side.
Ingredients (for one omelette):
- 2 eggs
- Large handful of kale
- Half a sliced courgette (or if you have a bag of frozen sliced courgettes, a large handful will do)
- Couple of handfuls of sweetcorn
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Small handful of grated cheese (optional)
Method:
- Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan (coconut is my favourite although olive oil is fine too)
- Pop in the kale, courgettes and sweetcorn and cook through for about 5-10 minutes
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl with the salt and pepper and then pour into the frying pan with the vegetables
- Let the omelette cook for around 5 minutes or so until the underneath starts to brown slightly
- Grate on the cheese and pop under a hot grill to finish off
- Enjoy!
