Quick Tasty Omelette with Grilled Tomato

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is said, “Have Breakfast like a king". Breakfast is considered to be the most important meal of the day because you are breaking your fasting of 7-8 hours from your dinner time means the body goes in to the starvation mode after you are finished with your dinner and the body needs adequate fuel to start the day energetically and being the first meal of the day has to be healthy and filling. Today I’m presenting this dish mainly for the bachelors or hostellers who have limited cooking options. Having the omelette with grilled tomato and soaked almonds makes it healthier.  My personal preference is to have the dish without the salt, if you desire you can sprinkle salt.

INGREDIENTS-

Egg whites – 4
Olive Oil – 1 ½ tblspn
Pepper – ½ tspn
Chilly Flakes – a generous sprinkling
Oregano – to taste
Tomato – 1 Large
Toasted Bread Slices – 2
Soaked Almonds – a handful


METHOD-

Beat Egg whites until frothy.
Heat Olive oil in a non-stick pan.
Pour the egg white mixture in the pan and let it cook.
Sprinkle Oregano and Chilly Flakes.
See picture.



When done turn the side and let it brown.

Transfer into a plate.
In the same hot pan heat 5-6 drops olive oil.
Add sliced tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Turn sides and heat it for a minute.
Arrange these near the omelette.
Sprinkle pepper on top of the tomatoes.
Serve hot with soaked almonds and bread slices.
