Tasty 150 cal ham & bean omelette
This is an exercise in portion control; you don’t have to eat something dull and ‘virtuous’ if you don’t mind scaling down the quantities. A tasty little breakfast that, at only 150 calories, gets you ahead of the game early in the day. With a black coffee and a glass of sparkling water chaser, I find this is ample to keep me fueled until lunch.
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 large egg (90cal)
- 1 thin slice of ham, fat removed (20cal)
- 2 dstspn of baked beans (20cal)
- 3 gratings of Parmesan – about 5g (20cal)
- tsp whole-grain mustard
- salt & pepper
- spray oil
Method
- Put the beans in the smallest pan you have, along with the mustard. Give it a stir and tear in the slice of ham. Put a lid on it and gently warm it through.
- Coat a small non-stick frying pan with spray oil and put on a high heat.
- Whisk the egg in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg into the frying pan. With a one egg omelette, there isn’t much opportunity to to do the pulling back of the egg mixture to create folds, so I just let it set, like a pancake. When it starts to set, grate your Parmesan over the top. Now it should be almost cooked through. I prefer to keep the top of my omelettes slightly wet, so I don’t wait for it to be totally cooked. Add the bean mixture to one side of the omelette, and fold the other half over the top.
- Serve and eat! The beans should make it juicy enough, so no need to resort to ketchup.
