Vegetable Omelette Recipe

Ingredients:

● 2 large eggs

● 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (assorted colors)

● 1/4 cup diced tomatoes

● 1/4 cup diced onions

● 1/4 cup chopped spinach

● 1 tablespoon olive oil

● Salt and pepper to taste

● Optional: Grated cheese (cheddar, feta, or your preference) Instructions:

Prepare Vegetables:

● Dice bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions. Chop spinach.

Preheat Pan:

● Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Sauté Vegetables:

● Add diced onions and bell peppers to the pan. Sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Add Spinach:

● Add chopped spinach to the pan and cook briefly until wilted.

Whisk Eggs:

● In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pour Eggs into Pan:

● Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the pan.

Swirl and Cook:

● Swirl the pan to ensure an even distribution of eggs. Allow the omelette to cook undisturbed for a minute or until the edges start setting.

Add Tomatoes:

● Sprinkle diced tomatoes over one half of the omelette.

Optional Cheese:

● If desired, sprinkle grated cheese over the tomatoes.

Fold and Serve:

● Once the edges are set and the center is slightly runny, carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula.

Finish Cooking:

● Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.

Serve Warm:

● Slide the omelette onto a plate, and serve immediately.

Feel free to customize this vegetable omelette by adding your favorite herbs, spices, or other vegetables. It's a versatile and nutritious breakfast option that can be tailored to suit individual preferences.

Almond Flour Waffles Recipe

Ingredients:

● 1 1/2 cups almond flour

● 2 tablespoons coconut flour

● 1 teaspoon baking powder

● 1/4 teaspoon salt

● 3 large eggs

● 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened)

● 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter

● 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia), optional

● 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat Waffle Iron:

● Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

● In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.

Whisk Wet Ingredients:

● In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

● Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter should be thick and smooth.

Let Batter Rest:

● Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes. Almond flour can absorb liquids, and the batter may thicken slightly.

Grease Waffle Iron:

● Lightly grease the waffle iron with coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Cook Waffles:

● Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

Serve Warm:

● Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a plate.

Serve immediately.

Optional Toppings:

● Top the waffles with fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.

These almond flour waffles are not only delicious but also gluten-free and low in carbohydrates. Adjust the sweetness to your liking, and enjoy a satisfying breakfast treat without added sugars.
