Feta Tomato Omelette

Eggs are a very controversial food for post-op bariatric surgery patients. Patients love them for their protein, flavor, convenience and cost…or HATE them and get frustrated with what to eat for breakfast.

Chances are, if you’re reading this blog, you are in favor of eggs. Yay! This is a great recipe for an easy, yet classic omelette. Gastric Sleeve and Bypass patients rejoice!

Omelets for me have always been a tricky beast. They always look messy and end up becoming a “scramble” instead of a true omelette. This recipe will show you a trick for keeping your omelette fluffy and light, and easier for fold over. Keep reading…

For me the trick is putting a lid over the skillet until the eggs are nearly set. Then I add a bit of cheese and slowly fold the egg over using a rubber spatula. 90% of the time I get a good fold. 10% of the time it looks a bit wonky but still tastes great. I’ll take those odds!

I love the flavors of tomato and feta in this omelet. I think your family will agree! Enjoy!

Oh and here’s another similar recipe with a few extra ingredients to make it a Greek Style Omelette!
