High-Protein Pizza Omelette Recipe

Whether you’re on a low-carb diet or just cutting back on ‘junk’ foods, sometimes the call of the pizza can be hard to resist.

Whether your pizza preference comes with a thin and crispy base, a stuffed crust, or piled with ham and pineapple – many of us have a soft spot for this delicious Italian classic. This egg-based pizza recipe replaces high-carb pizza dough for a light and fluffy omelette base, ready for whatever healthy toppings you like.

This recipe is seriously easy to make, taking 5-10 minutes to rustle up and with ingredients you’re likely to have lying around the kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp basil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 5 cherry tomatoes, sliced
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 15g sliced red onion
• 20g feta cheese/reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Suggestions for toppings:

• 5% minced beef
• Cajun-spiced chicken breast
• Sliced chestnut mushrooms
• Lean deli ham
• Pitted black olives
• Jalapenos
• Sliced Peppers
• Sweetcorn
• Sliced Chicken Sausage
• Spinach or Rocket leaves

Method:

1. Whisk together the eggs and egg whites and season with oregano, basil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
2. In a pan, heat the balsamic vinegar and pan fry the sliced onions and garlic.
3. Add the sliced tomatoes and any other ‘toppings’.
4. Once all of the ingredients are almost cooked, pour over the egg mix and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes.
5. Sprinkle over the cheese and finish under the grill for 2-3 minutes, so that the omelette is golden brown and bubbling.
