I love an omelet and am just wondering how you guys eat yours. Most of the time I don't feel like I have enought points left for dinner so I always think of an egg white omelet. Now I just need some new ideas/ingredients to try.

Thanks in advance for sharing.

    I love omelettes.

    you could add salsa.
    I keep a bag of frozen pepper and onion mix in the freeze and add those to omlettes.
    Add veggie bacon or Ham,
    Feta cheese.
    Taco seasoning instead of salt and pepper.

    I love mine with onions/peppers and topped with a little cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes and taco sauce! If I have enough calories to spare a little light sourcream.

    Mine depend on what I have in the house, but if I have it I have added: shredded carrot, cubed celery, peppers, cooked spinach a crumbled slice of turkey bacon or a little cubed ham, tofu or TVP, melt some laughing cow cheese on the top, also experiment with different spice combinations.

    If you have a slice of bread left you can also make egg white french toast, put egg and cinnamon in the batter and then dip your bread, I like to add a bit of yogurt on the top sometimes...but stay away from the syrup:sad:

    Mushrooms are great because they add a lot of flavor, they are high in fiber and they are bulky! I like a little low fat goat cheese and thinly sliced green olives for some zing, top with salsa! So filling and under 300!

    I see a lot of people say salsa... well, salsa is what makes the omelet to me!!

    I know you said you really don't have many points left for dinner but if you put on a TBS of sour cream.. that just makes me happy. Also, I like to saute up a pinch of spinach too. If I have baked chicken left over form dinner, I'll throw that in too.

    With an omelet, there are no rules :smile:

    My favorites are a fajati omelettte, I buy the frozen chicken mix, use 3 oz of chicken with peppers and onions, top with 1/8 cup Mexican cheese,serve with salsa and a slice of avacado. Second place is an Italian omelette, Italian turkey sausage with peppers and onions, top with 1 slcie of provolone. An omelette my husband created is really good, mix tuna in with the eggs, make omelette as usual put teo slices of turkey bacon in it, then top with montery jack cheese. Finally just a veggie omeltte with mushrooms, spinach, onions, peppers

    I usually add onions, spinach, cherry tomatoes and some chopped up bell peppers if I have them. My favorite thing to add is Chipotle Tabasco sauce, gives it a great spicy and smokey flavor.

    I saute mushrooms, green onions, red and green peppers in olive oil and add to my omelette along with some swiss cheese.

    Sometimes I make them with kidney beans and salsa or fresh diced tomatos.

    I don't eat egg omelets but my husband does and I prepare them for him. Sometimes I chop up some dark leafy greens like kale, spinach, collards, romaine into julienne-type strips, saute some mushrooms, onion, tomato and diced carrots. I might even throw in some finely sliced leeks. I season with Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme and rosemary) along with a pinch of original Herbamare or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. To make it cheesy, I either add 1-2 tbsp of nutritional yeast or add a couple ounces of skim-milk mozzarella or crumbled feta. Sometimes when I'm feeling really creative I'll throw in a quarter cup of red or black french lentils.

    When I eat omelets I make them out of tofu, which I almost always season with my own South Indian Curry blend (I love curries!). I add pretty much all the same veggies and herbs that I add to my husband's omelet and use nutritional yeast as cheese. Delicious!

    By the way, you just gave me an idea for lunch today - curried tofu scramble in a wrap with lots of fresh greens - thanks!

    I must agree with a previous post that smoked gouda takes like bacon. SOOOO GOOOD!!!!!

    tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, spinach, feta and salsa!

    I also got a recipe from here for salsa poached eggs:
    Pour enough salsa to cover the bottom of a small sauce pan, on low heat bring to a boil
    Crack the eggs right in and cover 5-10 minutes (depending on how runny you like the yolk)
    Add a little shredded cheese if you wish.

    SO GOOD and filling! A healthier heuvos rancheros!
  • 1/3 fat CREAM CHEESE

    with pretty much anything else you want to mix in. It is so creamy and good....and low cal!
    I made it with a bit of guacamole and spinach the other day and it was really tasty.
  • i like onions, green bell peppers and salsa! maybe some low fat cheese (sometimes!) :)

    Kroger sales a salsa by the name of Maggie's it is organic and the best salsa I've ever tasted. Expensive but so worth it.
  • I use mushrooms, red peppers, salsa and add a little pepper jack cheese.

    I like making a breakfast "omwich". Four large egg whites in a small glass bowl that is sprayed with 0 calorie butter flavor spray, whisk curry powder into them, cook in the microwave for 2:30 minutes (I have a microwave that is over 22 years old so it takes longer to cook things, you'd have to test yours for the time). Put the cooked egg whites on toasted light bread, I use Village Hearth wheat or 12 grain 40 cals per slice. And then squeeze on some French's honey mustard. 168 calories total.

    For regular omelets I use green peppers, onions, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, curry powder (I love curry), sometimes pizza sauce & mozzarella, sometimes salsa.

    I love eggs. Now I'm hungry for some :-)
  • I use leftover soup =)
    I get Campbells Select Harvest. They have one soup thats only 50 calories for a cup (half a can) Its called southwest vegetable I think... Well when I have the soup for dinner I never eat all of it so I save the rest and add it to an egg, mix together, and scramble. Its sooo good. I've tried it with other select harvest soups...
    Not sure if its SUPER healthy but it is low in calories and fairly low in sodium.
