This is a great quick meal at any time of the day. Eggs are a fantastic, affordable source of protein, helping our muscles to grow and repair and helping us to feel fuller for longer. Serve your omelette with wholemeal bread and a simple tomato salad for a healthy, balanced meal.

TIPS:
- Omelettes don’t always need to be folded in half with the filling inside, you can leave the omelette open and sprinkle over your favourite ingredients before finishing it under a hot grill until it’s bubbling and delicious.

- A non-stick pan makes cooking an omelette much easier – they’re not too expensive and if you are going to get into making omelettes it’s a great investment.

EQUIPMENT:
Mixing bowl
Small non-stick frying pan
Box grater
Cutting board
Measuring spoons
Spatula
