Featured Recipe: Quick and Easy Omelet

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In my opinion, it can also be one of the hardest meals to eat healthy at as well with our typical American diet and our grab-and-go lifestyle. That’s why eggs make for such an amazing choice in the morning. The trick with this recipe is to have roasted veggies on hand leftover from a previous dinner meal. Then, it will only take a few minutes to whip up what will taste like a gourmet breakfast and will be 100% Dr. Brown approved to boot!
Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ T pasture butter or ghee
  • ¼ c leftover roasted veggies (we used Turkey Bacon and Brussels)
  • ¼ c shredded Dr. Brown approved (sheep or goat) cheese (optional)
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • chives for garnish (optional)

Cook one side, using a spatula to pull in sides as they cook and tilting the pan so that the uncooked egg can fill the bottom.
