This is a refreshing take on an old breakfast favorite. The chia seeds provide a nice natural counter to the cholesterol of the eggs, and provide vital fiber and protein to help sustain you throughout the day. This is the perfect kind of breakfast to get you ready for an active day out.
You will need:
- 2 eggs
- Up to 1/2 cup vegetables of your choice – we like onion, fine diced potato, bell pepper, scallions, etc.
- 2 tbsps of water
- 1 tbsp of chia seeds
- 1 tbsp oil/butter
- salt & pepper to taste
Soak the chia seeds in the water for at least 20 minutes. Stir and notice how it resembles a thick gel. Once the chia gel is ready, whisk it together with 2 eggs, salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a small, non-stick fry pan. Add in the vegetables and cook on medium heat until soft. Pour in egg mixture. With a spatula, slide around the edges of the pan gently folding in cooked egg, and tilt the pan so that uncooked egg runs out along the edges. Once 70% or more of the egg is cooked, carefully slide the spatula as far around the bottom of the omlet as you can, then lift the pan, give it a shake to make sure the egg is loose and flip it. cook for another 30-40 seconds. Optional – add cheese, then fold omlet over.
