I love egg whites and eat them almost every day for breakfast. Sometimes I will put them on a piece of toast. Pretty simple stuff. Anything I can do to switch it up but I have to keep it simple?

    I eat a two egg omelet nearly every morning. Eggs, spinach, tomatoes, feta, and topped with salsa. So good!

    Pretty much anything you have on hand. Some veggies, cheese, meat - we even add leftovers to our omelettes like stew or chili!

    Pepper, cellery, green onion, sharp cheddar and german salami is my all time favourite mix. Like others have said pretty much anything on hand can get thrown in the mix with eggs and taste yummy!

    My go to meal. Omelettes, frittatas, soufflés and stratas are things that you can pair with just about any veggie or protein. Just get creative. I can't think of one veggie or meat, fish, poultry or cheese that won't work. Maybe not nuts or some beans, but there are even fruit soufflés so maybe nuts would work.

    Garlic! It might sound too strong but it really makes veggie omelets and scramble really good. It doesn't take much maybe a small clove for a 2 person serving but it make a big tasty difference.

    I don't make omelets don't have that skill mastered. 1 in 3 turn out. I make lots of scrambles.

    Again food is simple. Get a pan or baking dish. Look whats in the fridge. Chop, shred toss into the pan. Beat eggs whatever amount you want. Mix it all up and place in the oven. Its ready when eggs are set. Take out portion out and freeze any leftovers.

    You can also make these in muffin pans, whatever you want.

    Thank you for this! Don't ask me why, but have never been able to make an omelette to save my soul but will be trying these this week! Love that they can be frozen too. Cereal every morning is getting really old! :smile:

    The road to creativity is in your refrigerator. What leftovers need you to use up?

    Always nice is a little garlic and onion slowly caramelised in oil.

    To this you can add mushrooms, tomatoes, celery, pepper, spinach, sausage, whatever.

    Spices include pepper, paprika, oregano, basil, parsley, coriander in any combination.

    Sprinkle with any shredded cheese on hand.

    For those of you that haven't mastered the art of omelet making or simply don't have the time to spare, Epicure sells a microwaveable silicone omelet maker for under $20. I ordered one about two months ago and have used it several times each week since it arrived. Omelets used to be a weekend only treat in my house but now even on busy school days my kids can make their own.

    I had the best omelette at a restaurant yesterday....MY BIG FAT GREEK OMELET ...
    Sautéed fresh spinach, tomatoes, onions, feta cheese, oregano and kalamata olives. Seriously, one of the best omelettes I've ever had.

    My favorite contains onions, mushrooms and baby spinach....sometimes with cheese and salsa. For super simple I will sometimes do just egg whites with herbs de Provence sprinkled on and then I add goat cheese (about an oz or less) and fold in half. Super simple but really good.

    I add mushrooms to mine, they are so low calorie and add great flavor (if mushrooms are your thing)- Add Swiss cheese if I have it on hand. Swiss and mushroom go well together.

    I had a garlic, mushroom, cheese, onion, spinach and egg white omelet this morning. Loved it... For about 50 calories my egg whites tasted much better!

    I put in about a tablespoon of pumpkin puree into the whites...makes them extra fluffy and the texture and colour make it seems like I'm using whole eggs :D
