Easy Microwave Omelet

A easy, delicious nutritious omelet can be made with one of my favorite kitchen gadgets the Nordic Microwave Egg Maker .

Look how much filling food and nutrition you get for only 270 calories!

The omelet with the greens and sauteed mushrooms provides 200 calories, 12 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber. Serve with half a sweet honey crisp apple which adds another 70 calories and 4 grams of fiber.

To make the microwave omelet, beat two whole eggs or 1 whole egg plus 2 egg whites in a small bowl; divide the mixed eggs equally into the two sides. Place in the microwave for one minute and then check doneness. Continue with another 30 seconds until almost set.

If you want to add greens, place some on top and continue another 30 seconds until egg is done to your liking. (Time will vary depending on your microwave power) 

I like to use Costco's Organic Triple Washed Power Greens (Baby kale, chard and spinach). I always buy organic greens since they can be contaminated with pesticides and/or herbicides. 

Flip one side of the omelet maker onto the other and slide the omelet onto a plate. I like to top with sautéed sliced crimini mushrooms.
