This recipe is really simple but I thought that I would show you an everyday recipe that is easy and that I love to make regularly for breakfast. I often post a lot of sweet recipes, mostly because I know how much you all love a treat! And let’s be honest, I love that you can make gorgeous treats from real food ingredients… it’s exciting! But I don’t want to give you the false impression I eat these treats everyday or that I eat all that I post because I don’t!
The reality is that my real food treats are a treat and not something that I indulge in everyday. For the most part especially during the week the food that I make for myself is not really recipe worthy and it’s more a bit of this and that.
Today I thought that I would share my omelette with you because it is delicious and I make these so often using what ever ingredients that I have one hand. Today it is leek and asparagus, but tomorrow it could be salmon and dill. So get creative with what you have on hand. I love omelettes for breakfast because they are fast and like most people we are always in a rush in the morning.
This meal is perfect any time of the day for when you need something healthy and quick.
- 2 - 3 eggs (depending how hungry you are)
- 3 spares of asparagus, chopped
- ¼ cup leak, sliced
- ½ teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1 sprig of thyme
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Heat a small pan on a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Slice the leek, chop the asparagus spares into several pieces and crush the garlic. Place all three ingredients in the pan and saute for a couple of minutes until the leek is translucent.
- In the mean time, break the eggs into a small bowl and whisk together with a fork along with a sprinkle of thyme and salt.
- Remove the leek & asparagus from the pan and set aside.
- Pour the egg into the pan and allow to gently cook for a minute and then place the leek and asparagus on the egg.
- Remove the omelette from the pan just as the egg sets. Serve and enjoy!
I just discovered your wonderful blog and your experiences with processed foods and food intolerances echoes my own woes at the moment. I have been thinking about cutting out sugar but can’t bring myself to do that completely was I am such a sweet tooth. This whole not putting a label on the way you eat is great because it is less pressure when you are just trusting what your body wants. (not the sugar cravings part) haha. Loving this omelette. I reminds me of the ones that they serve in chinese restaurants, unturned and golden 🙂
Hi Lynnette. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice message. I am glad that you are finding some nice recipes. Start swapping some sugary items for some more healthy treats such as the apricot and macadamia slice. I used to be just the same as you with sugar so I totally get it, but if you make a few small changes at a time you will get to a point that you don’t want it anymore. It gets easy after a while. 🙂 xx
