#Recipe : Cheese & mushroom pizza omelette

I really admire Vegans, having been vegetarian for more than 10 years I have always considered taking the next step and cutting out all animal products from my diet. Through much deliberation I have to admit that I just can’t live without eggs and cheese in my life! This is one of my favourite recipes so I wanted to share with you. It’s great for when you’re craving a pizza but don’t want to eat too many carbs. It comes in at just 325 calories per portion & 23g of protein.

Ingredients: 
  • 150g/5oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 large British Lion eggs
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4-6 tbsp ready made tomato and herb pasta sauce
  • 1 (195g) pack mozzarella cheese, drained and diced

Prep Time: 5 mins
Cooking Time: 5 mins
Serves: 4

Method:

  • Pour half the oil into a frying pan and allow it to heat up for a few minutes before throwing in the mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 mins or until golden, then set aside.
  • Beat the 6 eggs and add the oregano, salt and black pepper. Add the rest of the oil into the pan and pour the eggs mix and cook for 2-3 mins using a spatula to push the cooked egg into the centre of the omelette and moving the uncooked egg to fill the gap and repeat until all the mix if cooked and golden.
  • Place the omelette under a hot grill for a few minutes to make sure the top has set before spooning the tomato sauce on top and add the cheese and mushrooms. Add a little more salt and pepper to taste and serve in wedges with salad or if you’re feeling naughty – chips!

You can really make this recipe your own with your own seasoning and toppings – you can throw on some pepperoni (if you’re a meat eater), peppers, olives, chilli… the choice is endless! Recreate your favourite pizza toppings on a fluffy, healthy omelette.
