Banana Breakfast Omelette

(Don't knock it til you've tried it!)

One of the biggest problems I've found since diagnosis is what to eat for breakfast. I've never been a fan of cereal (except Weetabix and porridge, both of which became off limits.) So although there are some pretty nice GF cereals around it's just not what I want in the morning.

Although I'm a student, I am in uni 9-5 most days as pharmacy is pretty hard going so I need something to keep me going until lunch time. I also am not great at getting up and like to stay in bed as long as possible so don't have much time for breakfast.

Two things I've always found both appetising and filling in the morning are bananas and eggs. So in my normal cooking style (mix things together and see what happens!) I decided one morning to mix these two. It's a simple idea but the results are great!



Banana Breakfast Omelette

2 eggs

1 banana

  1. mash the banana and beat the eggs
  2. mix together
  3. heat some oil in a frying pan (I use an oil spray)
  4. add the mixture and cook on a low heat for a few mins
  5. when sufficiently cooked turn one side into the middle
  6. then slide a spatula underneath the fold and roll the omelette over again so you get a sausage shape without any visible folds
  7. cook for another minute or so
  8. serve immediately



I usually drizzle it with honey as soon as I put it on to the plate but have also been known to spread Nutella on the top for a chocolatey treat.

Yum!

Works great with a bit of milk in the mix - and then some strawberries on the top at the end!

If you cut it in half before it's done cooking, then it'll also be easier to flip over, so that both sides are nicely cooked and the middle's still soft.
