My Egg Beaters Canvas

Posted on February 28, 2012 by Coco

My high-protein, low-calorie, Egg Beaters-based breakfast is one of the “diet” meals that now form the foundation of my healthy lifestyle. I’ve always been a breakfast eater, but I’ve traded PopTarts and Frosted Flakes for an Egg Beaters omelette and whole wheat toast.

I’m not sure exactly when or why I first started using Egg Beaters, but it probably was a combination of calorie-cutting and convenience that got me started. I even invested in this cute little cast iron skillet–the perfect size to make an omelette with 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters (10 g of protein and only 60 calories!).

Over the years I’ve come up with some favorite “recipes” for different Egg Beaters omelettes. Many of them stem from the fact that I love veggies but the rest of my family doesn’t. That means I often have leftover veggies and need to figure out how to use them up.

Here are some of my favorites:

  • Broccoli & Cheese Omellete. Dice cooked broccoli and toss into Egg Beaters while cooking. When nearly done, sprinkle with shredded cheese (parmesean or cheddar) and fold in half to finish.
  • Pizza Omellette. Microwave about 1/4 cup pasta sauce (leftover spaghetti sauce is great!) and spread over cooked Egg Beaters. Sprinkle with shredded cheese (parmesean or mozarella) and fold in half to finish.
  • Fajita Omellette. Toss cooked fajita vegetables (onions and peppers) into Egg Beaters while cooking, or layer on cooked Egg Beaters. Fold in half to finish.
  • Spinach & Feta Omellette. Microwave a generous handful of spinach (baby spinach or trimmed spinach). Add cooked spinach and crumbled feta cheese to Egg Beaters during or after cooking.
  • Tex-Mex Omelette 1. Top cooked Egg Beaters with a generous dollop of guacamole or diced avocado. Sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and fold in half to finish.
  • Tex-Mex Omelette 2. Top cooked Egg Beaters with fresh salsa. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and fold in half to finish.

    I can only do omelets so often, I get tired of eggs fast if they are the traditional prep. I do like them best with lots of veggies inside and some cheese. But lately I've been using my egg substitute in a different way that I am NOT getting tired of at all! I mix it with fat free ricotta, flax meal, some sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla, and cook it like a pancake:) I even took a photo thinking it might make it on my blog someday:)

    FETA!!!!!!! Love the "I gotta finish off the veggie leftovers" – that's the same here 🙂
    So is it by the milk? yogurt? cheese? Not sure where to find EB in the stores….
