#MeatlessMonday Omelette

I have been terrible at #MeatlessMonday and it's something I really want to commit to!

To kick-start my #MeatlessMonday eating regime I decided to make an omelette. As a "foodie" who cooks every day it may come as a bit of a surprise that I have never made an omelette. The reasoning for this is simple - before my transplant I didn't eat eggs. I tried because they are a healthy source of protein, but my body wouldn't have it. There are a number of healthy foods I couldn't eat before my transplant, another one being avocados, which I now love!

I have always had a very close relationship with my body and I feed it what it wants. For some reason, before transplant, it couldn't handle these foods but now, it loves them and has allowed me to experiment with a bigger variety of foods!

Anyway, back to the omelette!

Ingredients 

• 2 eggs
• milk (I literally just poured a dollop in but +- 1/4 cup)
• seasoning (salt, pepper etc)
• butter for frying
• grated mozzarella cheese (You can use any cheese +- a handful)
• filling- I chose gherkins, onions, tomatoes & pepperdews 

Method

• Beat eggs, milk and seasoning together
• Heat butter in pan on med high heat
• Pour mixture in pan 
• When omelette looks about half cooked add your filling to one side
• When omelette looks about ready, add cheese  
• When cheese has started to melt, fold omelette over and voila! 

Serve with a relish or sauce of your choice!

Enjoy =)
