Eggs are a great source of protein which is important for growth and can help keep your body and immune system strong. Adding a protein rich food to a meal will also help keep you feeling fuller for longer, which may stop you from reaching for a high sugar snack.
Omelette: serves 1
Ingredients
- 2 eggs*
- 1 tbsp oil
- Filling(s) of your choice e.g. cheese*, mushrooms, spinach, ham*, peppers, onion (you might want to pre-cook any vegetables before adding them, as they won't be in the pan with the egg long enough to cook through)
Method
- In a bowl, beat 2 eggs with a fork.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on a medium-high heat.
- Add the beaten eggs to the frying pan.
- As the egg starts to cook, use a spatula to scrape it away from the edge of the frying pan.
- Before the egg cooks completely, add the fillings of your choice.
- When there’s no runny egg left and your fillings are warm, your omelette is ready to eat.
