An omelette is a great way to include eggs in your diet!

Ingredients

For the omelette

1 scallion, diced
1/2 medium red pepper, deseeded and diced
3 button mushrooms, sliced
2 medium eggs
20g / 1oz. of low-fat cheese, grated
1 serving of spinach (90g / 3oz.), roughly chopped
½ tomato, sliced
Black pepper, to taste

Optional:

1 slice of wholemeal bread, toasted
1 teaspoon of low-fat spread

Method

Spray a small non-stick pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium heat
Add the scallion, pepper and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Crack the eggs in a bowl and combine with the grated cheese, spinach, tomato and a little black pepper to taste.
When the vegetables in the pan are ready, add to the egg mixture, mix well and return to the pan.
Cook the omelette for 2-3 minutes, until the edges cook and come away from the edge of the pan, the mixture should be firm. If you do not want to flip the omelette, preheat your grill.
