The low carb breakfast

T

This breakfast is pretty standard among low carb people. I had thought that making an omelette first thing in the morning was a bit of a hassle, but it only takes a minute or 2 to get this on the table and it is delicious and filling. I find I am not as hungry in the morning on low carb anyway, so sometimes I have a cup of tea and a bit of a read before I make this. We don't have eggs every day, but at the moment it is about 5 out of 7.

French omelette with fresh tomatoes

Ingredients

3 eggs
Large knob of butter
Salt and pepper
Tomatoes

Method

Place a small non stick frying pan on high heat and add the butter. As that is heating up whisk the eggs gently in a bowl. Season them. Once the butter foams up add the eggs to the pan. Immediately start to draw the cooked egg in from the edges to the centre. This moves the cooked egg away from the hot surface and so prevents it getting overdone. It also allows the raw egg to run down onto the pan and get cooked. When no more of the raw egg flows down gently fold the omelette over on itself. Give it another few seconds to cook through and you are done.
Serve with the tomatoes.

This keeps you full all the way to lunchtime with no need for a snack.
