    Simply done. 3 whole eggs, seasoning, 3 chillies, no dairy , or a sunny side up.

    1 oz Feta Cheese
    1 tsp olive oil
    Small nonstick frying pan
    1) Turn on small non-stick frying pan & add tsp of olive oil
    2) Chop onion well (i put it in my mini chopper)
    3) Beat egg with chopped onions
    4) Pour egg into pan & lay pieces of feta around

    D-E-F-R-I-C-K-I-N-L-I-S-H.... The end.

    2 eggs or equivilent in egg substitute

    From there it varies - I love veggies, so celery, tomato, onion and bell pepper is normal. Those are pantry ingredients for me as well so I always have them on hand. I will also throw in other veggies I might have on hand so if I have a spare jalapeno or kale or spinach or some broccoli hanging about, chop 'em small and toss 'em in.

    Before dieting, I might have thrown in chorizo or other sausage. If I did one now, I would use Morning Star Spicy sausage substitute. Ham is pretty classic, but I rarely have ham in the house. These days there is a lot more chicken and fish. I've never tried any sort of chicken or fish, but once had a crab meat ommie at the beach. I was not impressed though. Others must like it because I see it on menu's often. I love crab and I love eggs, but the combo just didn't work for me.

    Mix it up with some fresh herbs or spices to get a flavor profile you like. Chives would always work well in my world as does a bit of cumin. If tried tarragon, but I am mixed on the results; seems I like the more earthy flavors. I never go wrong with smoked paprika or some chipotle powder (but I love the smoky flavor and I like some zip to my foods). Obviously match your herbs and spices to your other ingredients. (which reminds me of a book in my collection called the Flavor Bible. I used to use it more when I first started cooking, but not as much anymore. It basically gives you combo's of flavor that work together such as basil-tomato-mozzarella.)

    For a finish or a sauce, I've been known to use ketchup on mornigns I am sluggish. Of course, you can always sprinkle some of the chopped veg/meat on top. I dash of herbs/spice that you used. A sprinkle of good cheddar (shredded) is always nice. I like some spice to my foods, so a hot pepper relish is a fine finish some days. Of course some fresh cracked pepper and a pinch of salt will finish it all very nicely.

    Ommies are great because they are versatile and great for using up the last of a store of veggies that will go bad soon. I use soup and salads for the same purpose sometimes. About the only food group that I haven't considered for an ommie. I just can't see doing a porridge ommie, but hey, others may love it (but i doubt it).

    Southwestern-style Egg Beaters 1/2 cup
    Pepper Jack - ultra thin slice
    Salsa - Tablespoon - medium
    Guacamole - 1/2 of a mini snack cup - spicy
    Sour cream - 1 tablespoon
    OR
    Just about anything goes in an omelette. Great way to use up veggies and meats!

    Currently I have (3) different versions that I make:
    (1) egg and (2) egg whites then:
    1. Asparagus and mushroom with Cabot's cheddar cheese w/Jalapeno - 50%
    2. Spinach, Tomato, Shallots with Feta
    3. basic Garden omelet - grape tomatoes, peppers, red onion or shallot and Cabot's cheddar

      Then I have some fresh pineapple and if calories allow it, 1/2 an Ezekiel English muffin with it.

    I am glad to see there is a little bit of salad right there on top. Gotta get your greens in at every meal!

    Three eggs, a teaspoon unsalted butter, chives from the garden, and whatever the fridge offers. I split it in to 1/3, 2/3 the larger for him. He's a "no cheese" guy so if I want some I sprinkle after. I might grate some cheddar.

    I love mushrooms, onions, spinach & usually, but not always, some kind of cheese. Today's was eggwhites, spinach, mushrooms, onion & a little avocado to use up what was there. I made a double portion & am having the rest for tomorrow's breakfast.
    I occasionally use red bell peppers, tomatoes, broccoli -- sometimes just to use up whatever veggies I have on hand. I have also used salsa, chopped green chiles, & asparagus -- just depends on what I have on hand.

    Try adding in some Cottage cheese before you fold over, it is SO good and adds a creaminess with a lot of extra protein!(:

    I'm reading this at 3 am and have decided on a mushroom omelette for breakfast. Now I need ideas on how to get back to sleep.
