A Great Savory Breakfast
Coming at you with another savory breakfast recipe from Fit Foodie HQ. It’s no secret that Lee is a sweet breakfast person. Em and I are savory breakfast gals! Either way, it’s a great mix. Since we are all BIG breakfast fans and the three of us function really well in the morning, we love to schedule breakfast meetings. We make a morning out of it by meeting at some our favorite Minneapolis breakfast joints. You’ll find us at Mouse & Sadie’s, Freehouse, Hill Valley Cafe, and Whole Foods drinking lots of coffee, with an assortment of sweet and savory breakfast goodness.
Omelets are Easy!
It’s funny, when we do eat out I rarely order an omelette. However, when I’m at home or cooking in the Fit Foodie kitchen, omelettes are one of my go-to breakfast choices. I absolutely LOVE the challenge of making the perfect omelette. One of the things I love most about omeletes is that you can throw whatever veggies or protein you have in your fridge in an omelette and it usually turns out. An egg omelete is like a blank canvas. Your options are endless; Mediterranean, meat lovers, cheese, mushroom + swiss, a classic Denver Omelette, etc! SEE?!
The Perfect Omelette Checklist
Sometimes an omelette can be intimidating because of the omelette flip, so I put together the perfect omelette checklist to ease any omelette anxiety you may have!- Prepare all your omelette fixings before you start cooking. Chop your veggies, cook your meat, prepare any spices, etc.
- Eggs:Milk ratio is 2 eggs:1 tablespoon milk. I usually stick to two eggs per person.
- Season your egg mixture before you place it in the pan.
- Making sure your egg mixture won’t stick to your pan is crucial. Heat a fry pan over medium/high heat, add your olive oil or nonstick cookie spray.
- Patience is key. When your egg mixture is cooking, take a spatula and slowly lift the omelettes edge to encourage the egg mixture not to stick.
- I like to cook my egg mixture almost completely before I add my veggies to avoid uncooked egg.
- Only add your omelette fixings to half of your omelette to make halving your omelette easier.
- Slowly flip half of your omelette using a spatula and your hands.

The color of the dish will more or less stimulate our taste buds. This dish is very beautiful.
What is Franks + Greek????
Franks Red Hot Sauce + Greek yogurt! It’s our favorite homemade sauce combo.
Wow, this looks almost too beautiful to eat! Just joking, I would dig in in no time, love all the colours and textures, terrific recipe Linley! And thanks for the tips, I usually shied away from making an omelette and just made some scrambled eggs, but now I am looking forward to trying my hand at it especially if the end result looks so gorgeous! 😉
Do you really think 2 T of bell pepper and a 1/4 cup arugula are a day’s worth of veggies? That’s not even 1 serving of veggies.
Looked at this twice searching for a days worth of veggies 🧐
