Salmon Ricotta Omlette

Soft phase bariatric surgery recipe or a protein based breakfast

Of course, every program is different so a soft recipe might mean something else at another program (nice and confusing) so as always be sure to refer back to your programs materials.

In my experience as a bariatric dietitian, once a patient is cleared for a softer textured protein, eggs and flakey fish are a great option as you learn small bites, eating slowly and stopping at the first sign of fullness. You can also just enjoy this recipe for a breakfast before surgery or after the recovery diets!

This recipe is a for one small omlette. It is simple to make which means  you aren’t putting a lot of time into something you cannot eat very much of!

You can, of course, increase how much you make but this recipe is a good learning recipe for the early phases of the soft protein diet. Congratulations on finishing your liquid diet!!!

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Once oven is heated, heat a small nonstick skillet to medium heat.
• Whisk egg and add a pinch of each salt and pepper. Pour into skillet.
• Once the edges of the egg look set (but the inside is still soupy), use a small rubber spatula to add drops of Ricotta cheese to the middle. Spread a little with spatula.
• Use fingers to flake salmon over the Ricotta. Use rubber spatula to fold one side of egg over the other.
• Move the skillet to the oven for 2 minutes or until egg is no longer soupy. Move to a plate and serve immediately.

Notes

Reduce fat content by using egg substitute instead of egg.
