Eggs are a perfect protein source. Two eggs equal one protein. They contain all of the amino acids needed for the body to repair itself and stay young-looking. Eggs contain all the nutrients we need for growth,iron,zinc, vitamin A, D, B and omega 3 fatty acids. Studies show that eggs help prevent coronary heart disease,loss of muscle mass, eye degeneration,hearing loss and memory loss.
Buy organic free-range as the chickens' feed gives these eggs a higher nutritional value, indicated by their deeper yellow yolk and richer taste.
Spiced omelet
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp coconut milk
1 Tbsp. organic olive oil
add parsley, basil, thyme, rosemary and any other favorite spice
sea salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
1.Break the eggs into a bowl. Add coconut milk and seasonings and quickly beat until just blended.
2.Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil, make sure that it covers the surface of the skillet evenly.
3.Pour in the egg mixture. Use a spatula to stir the eggs around the pan in a circular motion.
4.As the omelet begins to set, use the spatula to push the cooked omelet from the edge toward the center.Continue doing this until the bottom of the omelet looks set and the top is still slightly runny.
5.At this time you may wish to place some shredded organic cheese on top.Use the spatula to fold the top half of the omelet over the middle.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with fresh sprigs of parsley. You may wish to accompany this with a nice green salad. This is great served anytime of the day really. Like the old saying goes...have eggs instead...
Enjoy!
