Omelette upgrade: Protein-packed breakfast with strawberries
Strawberries are my favourite spring fruit. The season for them isn't long, so it's worth enjoying them from morning onwards. I have a few breakfast ideas featuring these fruits, but the best one is an omelette. It's delicious and filling.
Omelettes often lose out to sandwiches, especially when we're in a rush. They do require a bit more preparation time, but in terms of nutritional value, they definitely come out on top. Eggs are one of the best breakfast choices, as nutritionists often stress. And when you add cottage cheese or farmer's cheese to them, their nutritional value increases. Strawberries also provide plenty of vitamins.
Why an omelette is good for breakfast
An omelette with cottage cheese or farmer's cheese is the perfect idea for a healthy and filling breakfast. It's worth planning for the weekend or a more relaxed morning during the week. Preparation takes no more than 10 minutes, and the result is always delightful. The addition of dairy gives the omelette a creamy texture and delicate taste, and strawberries add sweetness. The omelette is rich in protein, provides energy for the whole day, and is low in calories. Cottage cheese or farmer's cheese are easy-to-digest products full of B vitamins and calcium, which positively affect bone health.
Which dairy to choose for the omelette
Classic cottage cheese in a container or farmer's cheese by weight is suitable for the omelette. They should be without any additives, and before adding them to the mixture, they should be blended. This way, the omelette will have a creamy texture without noticeable lumps. Strawberries just need to be washed and cut into pieces. There's no need to sweeten them.
How to diversify the flavour of the omelette?
- Other favourite fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or bananas can also be added to the omelette.
- You can add almond flakes, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes to the fruits.
