Low-GL Breakfast: Mushroom and tomato frittata

Slow cooked omelette - breakfast
Add a raw veg salad - and you have a main meal.

serves 2

1 tablespoon olive oil
75g brown mushrooms, sliced
4 eggs
2 tablespoons live natural yoghurt
freshly ground black pepper
1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 medium tomatoes, chopped


Heat the olive oil in an omelette pan, add the mushrooms and soften over a gentle heat.
Break the eggs into a bowl, beat them slightly and add the yoghurt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. mix well, stir in the chopped tomatoes.

Pour the mixture over the mushrooms in the pan, spreading the filling evenly over the base. Cook over a gentle heat until the bottom of the omelette is firm.
To cook the top you can either slide the whole pan under a hot grill for a couple of minutes or slide the frittata on to a plate, invert and place back into the pan.

Divide the frittata in two and serve with rye or wholemeal bread.

Omelet

Yes, eggs..the best ...good protein, good cholesterol, supertaste.
For a quick omelet you need 2 large eggs  - MUST be at least free range...if not organic...
What do you need for it?

first of all - no more than 3 minutes...then
 some butter
2 eggs - i was very hungry so i used 3 :-)
a pepper - i had a yellow one - for crunchyness and some fibres too
freshly ground black pepper
 - and for today i felt like adding some smoked salmon (omega 3, baby)...i have no idea if the tastes go together...i'll see later :-)

So simply whisk the eggs in a bowl, add the black pepper, meanwhile melt the butter in a non-stick pan - don't let it smoke!!

Pour the eggs in the pan, sprinkle on top the chopped pepper, let it set for maybe 1 minute. Only lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to bring there the runny eggs from the middle of the pan.
The most important rule: the omelet it must stay runny in the middle if u want to have all the goods from the eggs and not destroy them...so don't turn it on the other side.

Now you just slide it on a plate, put some salmon on the edge, toast some wholemeal pitta e voila...you have a very fast lunch, no preservatives, no crazy stuffs, and if you do the maths...i guess it's very cheap too....

A, if u want the omelet fluffyer...add some milk in the whisked egg...nice, very nice texture with milk
And of course: never ever use oil for omelet - butter only...

The mix of omelet and smoked salmon was ok, really ok ....mmmm
