Vegetable Omelet

The traditional Mediterranean way of eating includes lots of vegetables. Breakfast is the hardest meal for many to get any vegetables. Adding veggies to an omelet is one way to get at least some at the morning meal. You can cook a bag of spinach and chopped vegetables at the beginning of each week to keep in the refrigerator to make quick vegetable omelets. Sauté a bag of baby spinach in a few teaspoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. You can add lemon zest if you want. Cook chopped mushrooms, peppers, and onions – whatever vegetables you like – and keep them on hand as well.

  1. Eggs, any style, over veggies is an excellent way to use leftovers. I frequently set aside some of my dinner veggies specifically for this purpose because I enjoy the egg/veggie combo and it makes it easy to take in more veggies when you start with breakfast.
