This easy High-Protein Zucchini Omelet, for one, is a healthy strategy to start the morning. Over 36 grams of protein and 1 cup of veggies!

High-Protein Zucchini Omelet

I’ve been prioritizing protein and vegetables, making it some extent so as to add one cup of veggies to each meal. It’s an incredible strategy to get your every day fiber – I aim for at the very least 25 grams every day. Omelets are such a simple strategy to achieve this goal! This vegetarian omelet has a complete cup of zucchini and a combination of egg and egg whites for extra-lean protein. More of my favorite omelets are Goat Cheese Herb Omelet with Nova Lox, Broccoli and Cheese Omelet, and Open-Faced Omelet with Feta, Roasted Tomatoes, and Spinach.

Omelet Ingredients

• Onion: Chop 1 / 4 cup of red onion.
• Zucchini: Dice the zucchini into matchsticks.
• Eggs: You’ll need one egg and three-quarters cup of egg whites, which is about six eggs. You too can buy liquid egg whites on the supermarket to avoid wasting time.
• Parmesan: Grated or shredded parmesan cheese will work.
• Salt and Pepper: Keep it easy with salt and pepper for seasoning.

Should I cook my veggies before putting them in an omelet?

It’s best to cook the vegetables for just a few minutes before adding the eggs to melt them.

How one can Make an Omelet

• Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium- low heat. Stir within the onion and cook for 2 to a few minutes. Add the zucchini, season with salt and pepper, and cook for just a few minutes until tender.
• Whisk: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, egg whites, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
• Cook: Pour the eggs over the veggies within the skillet. Cover the pan and cook for about five minutes until the eggs are set. Flip the omelet over onto your plate.

Omelet Variations:

• Veggies: Swap yellow squash for zucchini or add 1 cup of your favorite veggies.
• Eggs: Be happy to make use of more whole eggs as an alternative of egg whites.
• Protein: Add lean breakfast sausage or ham for much more protein.
• Spice: Should you like your food spicy, drizzle sriracha or hot sauce over the omelet.
• Double the recipe to feed more people.
