This reverse omelette is an innovative twist on a regular omelette, with the cheese forming a crispy outer layer.
This recipe will satisfy you to the point of rapid fat loss while still supplying you with adequate nutrients on a vegetarian diet. Combining whole eggs and egg whites ensures you are getting all the nutritional benefits from the eggs while keeping dietary fat a little lower to all the fat on your body to be used for fuel.
The whole eggs in this recipe provide bioavailable protein, along with omega 3, choline, folate, vitamins B5, B12 and E, and the egg whites boost the protein a little more, along with B2 and selenium. Cheese adds some calcium, spinach brings folate, potassium and vitamins A and K1 and the broccoli and tomato round out the ensemble.
