The Truth About the “Traditional Omelets
Eggs are one of the best breakfast foods out there and they have been consumed all over the world, as a part of the first meal of the day. The popularity of eggs isn’t just a result of their easy availability and inexpensive nature, but more importantly because of their ability to double up as a whole meal. You can get as experimental with eggs as you wish and turn them into simple and light snack dishes or gourmet mains.
However, for breakfast most people prefer consuming quick and classic egg dishes, including scrambled eggs, sunny side up or in the form of omelettes. This last one is popular with health freaks as it leaves a lot of space for creativity and for squeezing in as many healthy ingredients as one likes. Although omelettes are one of the healthiest breakfast foods you can consume for breakfast, we often end up unintentionally adding a lot more calories to them than we’d like.
