How to Make the Perfect Omelet
A Guide for New Omeleteers
Thanks to the glory that is Youtube, I found dozens of videos that showed me how to make a perfectly shaped Omelet. I found that this video is best and the most simple.
Remember: You'll probably screw up making an Omelet the first time! So don't worry if the meal doesn't end up looking like you hoped. It all ends in the same place anyway, right?
HEALTHY TIP - Try Egg Whites!
If you feel that the egg portions are too small, but don't want to eat anymore calories, then why not try Egg Whites? Compared to the calories in a regular large egg (about 70 Calories), egg whites are only 17 calories per serving. Eat four egg whites and it'll be like eating a regular egg - only with more sustenance!
Sinfully Cinnamon French Toast
190 Calories
- Serves: 1
- Prep Time: 10 Minutes
- Total Time: 15 Minutes
Ingredients
- 1 Slice Wheat or White Bread
- 1 Medium Egg
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 2 Tsp. Powdered White Sugar
- 1 Tsp. Unsalted Butter
- (Optional) Fruits for Garnishing (Calories vary)
- (Optional) 1 Tbsp. Honey (Additional 60 Calories)
Instructions
Heat Skillet over Medium Heat. In a shallow bowl (or plate if preferred), scrambled together the eggs and cinnamon. Once eggs are completely scrambled, soak the bread in the mixture for two minutes on both sides. On the Skillet, melt the butter and cook the French Toast. Make sure both sides of the bread are golden before removing. Top finished product with the white sugar and/or honey. Garnish with Fruits (Strawberries, Bananas, and Cantaloupes are best).
HEALTHY TIP - Stay Away From Syrup!!
Yes, we all love the taste of syrup. But did you know for every 1/2 Cup of Maple Syrup, You are eating around 400 calories from the Syrup alone? That's more than the actual dish! Instead, eat your delicious pancake or waffle with powdered sugar, honey, or even fruits for all natural sweetness.
Saucy Breakfast Burrito
350 Calories
- Serves: 1
- Prep Time: 20 Minutes
- Total Time: 30 Minutes
I normally don't play favorites, but this recipe is SO GOOD. I made this in High School once during Cooking Class, and since then I've been making Breakfast Burritos. It's great for those that are on the go; just make the burrito the night before, and in the morning grab it and you're off!
This isn't the original High School recipe, of course. I had to substitute a few things to lower the monstrous calorie amount. Now I'm using this recipe to eat one of my favorite breakfast dishes - and I don't have to feel guilty about it!
Ingredients
- 1 Strip of Bacon
- 4 Medium Egg Whites
- 1 Slice Velveeta Cheese (Shredded)
- 1 Tbsp. Salsa
- 1 Tbsp. Can Refried Beans
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Lettuce
- 1 8-inch Flour Tortilla
Instructions
Cook the Bacon in one pan, and the egg whites in another (DO NOT mix them together!). In a pan, heat the Flour Tortilla for a few seconds - enough to make it warm and easy to fold. (DO NOT MAKE IT CRISPY). Lay the Flour Tortilla on a plate and top it in this order: Refried Beans, Bacon Strip, Egg Whites, and Shredded Cheese. Roll into the shape of a Burrito. Top your delicious creation with any extra Shredded cheese and Salsa.
