Omelet and Egg Breakfast Ideas

I love to make egg-white omelets. Well, actually, I use one whole egg and then two or three egg whites. I want to get some fat and protein. These are some of my favorite things to put in them. Spinach, brocolli and chilies are zero points, reduced-fat cheese is usually about 80 calories per 1/4 cup. I try to make these with about 50 calories of cheese (1 point), the eggs I count as 3 points (although if you use only whites, they are 1 point):

• Spinach and feta cheese- I use frozen spinach. I cut off a chunk, microwave it (there are directions on the package), and then put it in the omelet with some sprinkled feta cheese
• Spinach and cheddar cheese- same thing as above, but I use grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• Brocolli and cheddar cheese- I use frozen brocolli, microwave it like the spinach, and sprinkle some reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• Green chilies and monterey jack cheese- I buy canned green chilies, and with reduced-fat jack cheese, it tastes like chili rellanos- yum!
• Potato and cheese- I use one point frozen shredded potatoes, cook them according to the instructions, and put them in the omelet with some reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• Chili-cheese- use leftover turkey chili and some reduced-fat cheddar cheese for a yummy southwestern omelet

Egg Breakfasts

• Scrambles- You can make scrambles out of any of the ideas above by just scrambling eggs (or whites) with those ingredients in them.
• Egg, cheese and bacon pita- I use a whole wheat pita, fill it with scrambled egg whites, two slices of extra-lean turkey bacon and a slice of 2% cheese (I like the sharp cheddar- only 50 calories per slice)
• Egg, cheese and bacon sandwich- same as above with Sara Lee Delightful whole wheat toast
• Egg in a hole- with a glass make a hole in a piece of light bread. Get a skillet hot (on medium heat) with non-stick spray in it. Put in bread and then put a whole egg (or two egg whites) in the hole. Cook for a few minutes, then flip.
