Quick breakfast, Omelette recipe / The Smoothy

Way back when (2010), I was inspired to show you how to create the perfect no frills omelette, this one isn't too different and is more for the people who continually ask me, "so what do you eat in the mornings" and tell me that they don't have any time to make an easy, delicious brekky, and I don't mean just on the weekends

First my day-to-day breakfast consists of either 2 sorts:

1. Giant Smoothy (Prep time: 7mins)
The first (my fav) and most common is my giant smoothy. Once you see what goes in it you'll understand the giant bit.
Let's make one thing clear, this smoothy WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Ingredients
1 Banana (expensive these day I know!)
1 egg (2 if you're not adding the protein powder)
1 Handful of Blueberries (great source of anti oxidants)
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Heaped tablespoon raw cocoa
1 Scoop protein powder (any flavour will do)
300mil of milk (soy works fine also)
1 Hand full of walnuts
1 Hand full of almonds (optional)

The method, simply blend blend blend...!

For some reason, people get frightened thinking it takes ages to do this, it really doesn't, honest! Do it and watch yourself make it through to lunch time without any craving of snacks.

2. Cheese & Mint Omelette (Prep time: 7mins)
Not much to explain here...Though for a great hint of spicy flavour buy yourself some chili infused olive oil


Ingredients
2 eggs (60g)
2 or so table spoons of milk (or water)
3 table spoons of grated cheese (any)
10-15 leaves of fresh mint (chopped finely)

Method
1. Olive Oil in fry pan and heat (Cold pressed oil if possible)
2. Wisc eggs, cheese, milk & half the mint
3. Pour in pan, DONE!

Omeletta Perfecto!

Well, the last week or so really has been all about eggs. First with the Pavlova Classic, then came the Poached Egg (how to) and now an omelette; so I promise it's the last really eggy one one for a while.


The perfect omelette begins with nothing other then?....butter of course. Here I'll only show you a base omelette, of course this is one of the more versatile foods, so you can really add anything you so choose to it.


==============================================
Prep-time: 5-10mins


Ingredients:
- 1 decent table spoon of butter (plus a little extra melted for brushing)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup grated mozzarella
- 1/4 cup milk


How to work the magic:
1. So pop a table spoon of butter into the pan, making sure to maneuver it all over the pan including the raised edges of the pan.
2. Crack the 2 eggs in a bowl and add the cheese, whisk them together until the yolk and egg white just mix (this will give it a nice yellow & faint white colour).
3. You can choose to add a little water or milk and whisk it through.
4. Poor the contents into the hot pan (slightly turn it down a fraction) and move the pan around so the base of the pan is completely covered. salt & pepper to taste
5. Move the omelette around in the pan and once it's sliding around in one piece, move it to the edge and flip the edge of it on its self, then do the same on the other side, so both edges are flipped inwards.
6. Slide onto a plate, brush with a little butter so it looks nice and glossy and add a little more salt & pepper.
