    I don't eat a lot of eggs, but when I make them I generally just put in whatever veggies I happen to have on hand. I rarely put in meat, but usually add a little cheese and top it with salsa or pico de gallo.

    I always sautee onions and colorful diced bell peppers together (sometimes I add in Canadian bacon as well) in my wok, the when the vegetables soften alittle I pour 3 scrambled egg whites over the top cook for a few minutes and flip one side over.
    Sometimes I top with alittle fresh salsa,
    The wok makes a perfect omelet pan... flips easy, always round and never sticks. :)

    Usually I put cheese inside and plop some picante on top but these days it's PLAIN with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Add..I forgot to say it's a 3 Egg White Omelet.

    Broccoli is my favorite but sometimes I add grated carrots, green onions, red/green peppers, celery...shoot I put in almost anything in the vegetable drawer. Mushrooms....are fantastic! I do not do cheese with the fat content but will on a rare occassion. I always have this egg omelette meal for dinner.

    Sauted baby bella mushrooms have a great "meaty" texture and taste. Any leftover veggies~ especially roasted asparagus, broccoli and brussel sprouts. Roasting the veggies in a little olive oil gives them an entirely different taste. Yummy. Always some type of onion. For meat eaters, the Archer Farms chicken breakfast sausage is great and I just tried the Bistro Sensations Chicken Apple sausage - very good. Market Pantry egg whites in the quart carton are very handy, and I figured there are more egg whites in there than I could get out of a dozen eggs. I have a tough time throwing away the egg yolks otherwise! :smile: Today was 1/3 cup egg whites, 1 chicken apple sausage cut up, 1 slice (1.5 oz) artisan tomato garlic basil bread toasted and 1 wedge Laughing Cow Light Mozzarella, sundried tomato and basil spread on the toast. Layered it as an open face sandwich. It was nummy!

    Some EVOO in the pan.
    Fry down some spinach, heat up some sliced baby tomaters.
    Dump in some Egg Beaters.
    Add some diced green and red peppers.
    Sprinkle in some black and red pepper..
    Flip that bad boy over.
    Sprinkle in some chopped green onions.
    Add a slice of pepperjack cheese.
    Fold. Finish cooking.
    Squirt some hot sauce on top.
    GET IN MY BELLY!!!

    I used to add some diced ham, which I LOVE, but in the interest of lowering my sodium intake, I've recently lost the diced ham. I'm enjoying this thread, though, because I'm always looking for ideas to mix it up a bit.

    I'll add just about anything. My favorite combo is chopped up center cut bacon, avocado, cheddar cheese and hot sauce. But I'll but any of the below, in any combo, in my eggs:
    Bell peppers
    Mushrooms
    Any cheese
    Any hot sauce
    Chopped up or ground protein (protein used loosely to accomodate tofu and chopped shrimp, not just turkey/chicken)
    Carrots
    Onions
    Asparagus
    Spinach
    Tomatoes
    Garlic
    Spicy peppers (Serrano, Pasilla, etc)
    Corn
    Broccoli

    Yeah, pretty much anything is free game to get tossed into my eggs really. I think the only stuff I haven't thrown in would be berries or other fruits like that, cucumbers or jicama. :)
    this plus a tablespoon of wheat bran.

    Nothing. 2 egg whites (I seem to be the only human that uses real eggs for this, but have you ever priced how much egg whites cost to buy. OMG! Anyway, 2 egg whites and one whole egg. Plain. Yum. Often I put it on toast or a whole wheat tortilla, no butter ot anything. I like plain food. One of the problems people have with food is taste. You need to rid yourself of the trap that food needs to taste. You are eating for nutritional value, not because it tastes like anything. try eating bland food for a while. You can relearn to eat food that way, and it changes your relationship with food.

    Anything is good. I have been doing asparagus and mushrooms. Spinach is also yummy. I always sprinkle some grated parm/romano blend cheese that I get from Trader Joe's on the top also.

    Pizza omlettes are delicious! Suated onions, peppers, mushrooms, turkey pepperoni topped with pizza sauce and light mozza. Or any combo of pizza toppings. :flowerforyou:

    I don't particularly like omelettes, but I put cinnamon in my scrambled eggs.

    I have never thought about putting cinnamon in eggs.... May just have to try that one!
