Healthy spring breakfast: Mediterranean veggie Omelette with Camembert

Spring time makes people more active, they spend more time outdoors and therefore need some of the essential vitamins they have been deprived of during the cold months...
See here how to make a delicious and healthy omelette to start you into the new day ...I mean into the new season! :)

Ingredients (serves 2 to 4):

• Whichever vegetables you have left
  (suggested: Peppers, Aubergine, Olives, Tomatoes, (red) Onions)
• Garlic; if you can handle it for breakfast (or brunch)
• Basil leaves (or dried mixed herbs)
• 4 Eggs
• 4 Tbs Greek yoghurt (or 1/4 cup of Milk; but with the yoghurt the consistency is better)
• Olive Oil
• Camembert
• Salt, Pepper

Preparation (around 15minutes):

Wash your vegetables (unless you're using Mushrooms; these are just brushed off) and chop them up into tiny dice. If you are using Olives, dry them off with some paper towel and halve them. Chop garlic into fine slices.
I advise to use a very small frying pan ( max. 5inch diameter; otherwise you need to add more eggs and yoghurt). Heat up some olive oil on maximum heat in the pan and fry your vegetables. Occasionally turning them, so they don't burn, but allow to get crispy sides.

(!) The Aubergine could water alot. In this case either let them sweat out beforehand by salting the bits and leaving them to rest on paper towel for approx. 10 minutes. Turn and repeat. Or just wait till the water evaporates in the pan, leaving it on maximum heat. 

In the meantime take a bowl, crack the eggs into it, add yoghurt, Salt, Pepper. At this point you can add another cheese to the mix if you like, making it extra rich. Or you could add creamy garlic sauce or extra herbs and spices, like chilli - the choice is yours :)

Use a fork or whisk to mix up the eggs and yoghurt (and spices). 

After turning the veggie mix another time, turn the heat down to 2 and add the egg-mix. Use a spatula to lift the vegetables from the bottom of the pan and allow the mix the spread and cover the veg in the pan. Now wait until the mix starts to firm, this process exhilarates if you cover it with a lid. You can occasionally lift up the edges of the omelette with your spatula, tipping the pan slightly, pouring liquid mix underneath the lifted egg.

When most has become more or less firm, you can either do a super cool pan-flip ...
OR you can take a plate (slightly bigger than your pan), put it on top of the pan, quickly turn it 180° and then slide the half ready omelette back into the frying pan :)

Cook until it's fully firm, then put on a plate/platter and add the camembert and put it under the grill for an additional 2 minutes. Then it's ready to serve.

Whether it's for breakfast or Lunch, Omelettes are a great side dish, you could for example serve a slice of this beauty with a nice salad or our Spinach and Goat's Cheese with Caramelized Red Onions!

Buon appetito!!
