Mysty PfefferI love having a good amount of leftovers after Labor Day to make eating throughout the week simple. Omelets are the perfect meals to use them in too!
Even if you are only cooking for one or two people.
The leftover black bean and corn salsa will make a delicious omelet, while the leftover grass-fed burger will provide a good amount of protein and much needed iron. If you’re worried about gathering supplies for the salsa.
Don’t sweat that either!
It’s the perfect time of year to gather your peppers, onions, corn and tomatoes and put this salsa together. Chop them and add a can of rinsed black beans, some fresh cilantro, lime juice, and salt and there you have your black bean and corn salsa for your 1st omelet.
By the way, what are your favorite combinations for salsa?
Black Bean and Corn Salsa Omelet
- 2 Medium Eggs
- A Teaspoon of melted butter
- 1 cup of black bean Salsa
- Heat your skillet and add the butter. Beat the eggs and add salt and pepper. Pace in the skillet and cook 1-2 minutes. Add the salsa to half of the omelet and fold over and serve. This would be good with some melted pepper jack cheese or topped with plain yogurt and fresh parsley.
How simple is that?
I bet you’ll be very happy with the flavor too!
Burger & Mushroom Omelet with Rosemary
This omelet is a good fit for my low-carb friends who want to increase their protein intake without overdoing it on the carbs. I like the idea of extra protein in the morning too, because it keeps me full longer. The herbs give it a nice fresh burst of flavor, while the mushrooms get our immune systems raring to go.
Here’s what you’ll need for ONE omelet.
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Sprig of Fresh Rosemary (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
- 1 Sprig of Oregano (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
- 3 mushrooms (cleaned and chopped)
- 1 Leftover burger chopped
- 1/8 tsp. each cayenne pepper, paprika, and salt
- Heat your skillet, add a tsp of butter. Saute` the chopped mushrooms and warm up the burger in the skillet. Beat and add the eggs, cook one minute. Add the beaten eggs, and spices. Cook until done. Enjoy!
Summary
What God puts in the garden is good! And these two breakfast omelets are quick and easy to prepare. You and I need quick and easy so we can get away from plastic covered breakfast cereal, pop tarts, doughnuts, etc.
You know, those obesogens I’ve been talking about lately! It’s hard to get away from the things that steal our joy, physically and spiritually. That is why I hope to bring you recipes that build you up in both ways!
I pray you are encouraged to face each new day with hope and vigor as you become intentional about eating to heal your body and praying to heal your soul. We need both to function at our best, don’t we?
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
