Hi friends! Happy hump day!
Today, I’m linking up with Peas and Crayons for a What I Ate Wednesday post. I wanted to share my most recent breakfast obsession: omelets.
I attribute this to a recent 4-day weekend when I had plenty of time to make breakfast in the morning.
I use the same base recipe to make all of my omelets: 1 whole egg, 3 egg whites, 1/8 C milk, salt and pepper to taste. Beat all ingredients together. You’ll see here that I use 1 whole egg. I usually use 1-2 whole eggs in all of my egg breakfasts because I like the added nutrients. Then I will use egg whites for the rest- more protein but keeps the calories in check.
From there, the omelet world is my oyster! 
These guys are a great way to sneak in some veggies (I usually use 1 to 1.5 C) and cheese.
Let’s break down why I think omelets are awesome…
Eggs = cheap
Lean breakfast (high protein without being loaded with fat and calories)
Easy and quick to make
You don’t have to dirty a ton of dishes <—the most important thing, right?
Lots of room for customization
The other day I stuffed my omelet (ha, that kind of sounds dirty) with 1 cup of spinach and 1/4 c shredded cheese. Cheese is awesome, yo.
Do you like omelets? If so, what are your favorite combos?
What’s your go-to lean breakfast?

Big fan of omelets. I enjoy adding a 2 tsp. of ground flaxseed to my mixture. Bulks it up a bit.
Great idea. I have a big bag of ground flaxseed in my cabinet actually that I really need to use up!
I LOVE omelets!! My fav is when I add shrimp, avocado and salsa! The Best :)
I have never thought to add shrimp but this combo sounds amazing!
All hail the omelet! My favorite is simple with just cheese and avocado with salsa on top.
Hey lady it’s my first time stopping by your blog but I just want to say congrats on the omelette making and perfecting, I definitely think there is a trick to really great omelets, but yours looks fantastic! I have been on a kick of making them for my lunches it’s easy it’s quick and you get a lot of nutrients in!
I also love that they are so quick and easy to make :)
