About this recipe

Fuel your morning with this Protein Power Breakfast, a nutritious and satisfying meal designed to keep you energized. This dish combines the classic comfort of an omelette with the wholesome goodness of quinoa, spinach, and colorful veggies, ensuring a hearty start to your day.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Incorporate cooked quinoa, spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cheese into the egg mixture. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

  4. 4

    Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to spread evenly.

  5. 5

    Cook the omelette gently, pushing the edges inward with a spatula and letting any uncooked eggs flow to the edge.

  6. 6

    Once the edges are firm and the cheese is melted, fold the omelette and cook for another minute until fully set.

  7. 7

    Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

Ensure quinoa is pre-cooked to save time. Experiment with adding herbs like chives or parsley for an extra touch of flavor.
