Skinny recipe #3 New potato & red pepper omelette

Hello!

 

 

 

I do apologise.. this isn't the prettiest picture I have ever taken. Also, my omelette looks HUGE and slightly burnt.

 

I do have to admit that I did serve it with a little toast but I couldn't eat it. The omelette was filling enough plus the toast was pretty awful!

 

Let's get started!

 

 Serves 1

 

You will need:



2-3 medium eggs

1/2 red pepper

2 small new potatoes

1 mushroom

1 small red onion (or a few spring onions)

Salt & pepper to season

1tbsp milk

Pinch of dried herbs/fresh basil

Low calorie olive oil spray

Frying pan

Baking sheet

Fish slice & wooden spoon

 

Method:

• Preheat your grill to a medium-high setting.
• Prepare all of the vegetables - slice the red pepper, new potatoes, mushroom (just the one) and a small red onion.
• Bring a small pan of water up to a boil and pop the sliced new potatoes in to soften a little for 4-5 minutes.
• Drain when ready.
• Spray a little low calorie olive oil spray into a pan and soften (with a little added water) the onions and peppers.
• Once soft, add the mushroom and cook until soft.
• Once all the liquid has been absorbed, add the potato until it's lightly golden.
• Whilst the potato is browning, crack 2-3 eggs (depending on whether you're having a side) into a seperate bowl, mix with a tiny splash (and I mean tiny) of milk, a pinch of dried herbs and then season.
• Add the egg into the pan, giving it a quick mix to move the other ingreidents evenly across the pan.
• Cook until the bottom has set and then transfer to a baking sheet (unless you have an oven proof frying pan), sprinkle LIGHTLY with a 'light cheese' and pop under the grill for 5 minutes until it's a bubbly golden brown!

I decided to make this as I had loads of vegetables and eggs that needed using up but as I used my last 3 eggs, I really didn't need the toast so I ended up not eating it and throwing it away :[

 

The 3 egg omelette was 430 calories, which was plenty for a nice, filling dinner and which uses up all the leftover vegetables from Christmas!
