Any Veg Omelette

Omelettes are a quick and easy breakfast, light lunch or nourishing evening meal, and packed with essential nutrients.  Great for using up leftover veggies from dinner, or the back of the fridge, which might otherwise go to waste. My 3 kids took a long time seeing me eating this kind of food, before they wanted to eat it themselves. And in my own experience, together with a solid body of food pattern evidence, this tells us that kids take time to develop their food preferences. However, being exposed to a wide range of foods, with all their senses in their early years of growing up, whether they are eating them or not, has a positive influence on developing diverse food preferences. What you show them by your own food habits, matters. Eggs are an incredible source of goodness for all ages of children. See my latest post on Making more of Eggs for nutritional information.

Method

1. gently fry vegetables or leftovers in the oil, on a medium heat in a non-stick pan
2. meanwhile switch the eggs with a fork until of a uniform texture, adding a little seasoning if wished eg. pepper, celery salt, garlic and switch in the milk
3. once the veggies are browned, add in the egg mixture and turn up the heat
4. once you see bubbles around the edges, with a non-stick spatula, gently draw the outer egg mixture towards the middle of the pan and turn the heat down
5. gently move the omelette-shaped egg mixture around, cooking for 5 minutes on a medium heat, until the eggs becomes more solid
6. add (optional) grated cheese on top and continue on a medium heat for 2 minutes
7. for a puffed up omelette, finish under a hot grill
8. for a money saving tip, finish in the pan
9. using a wide non-stick spatula, turn the omelette over for another 1-2 minutes to brown on the other side

Tasty, nourishing and good for your brain,  your budget, your time
