Red Pepper Omelette
An easy breakfast for a busy workday.
What do you need to get your Monday started? Protein and something that will stick to your ribs until lunch, no matter how late you will get it. It is suggested that because eggs are pure cholesterol, even though they are a good source of protein, no one should have more than 3 or 4 a week. Which leaves me with much concern about my students who eat a bacon, egg, and cheese most mornings before school. As with all nutritional guidelines state, it is best to eat major sources of protein alone without mixing it with other food groups. This helps to aid digestion and absorb nutrients better without interacting with other enzymes needed to absorb other types of food, like starches or sugar. Hey, didn’t think you knew that, huh? That means when you want to have an omelette, eat it without the roll or bagel. Or at least have it on the side and eat it a little later. Not to say I haven’t broken the rules myself, but it doesn’t hurt to know what is good for you.
Feel free to use egg whites instead of the whole egg. I added red peppers, onions, mixed shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Extremely simple and quick to make, and could even be eaten on the run.
