Pizza Omelette

All the awesomeness of a pizza without the dreaded carbohydrates!

This is a deliciously eggy omelette loaded with all your favourite pizza toppings – a perfect quick meal for two (or four if you serve it with a substantial salad). I made mine using the ingredients I had on hand, but you can easily tailor it to include your own favourite toppings.

This recipe is my contribution to March 2013’s No Waste Food Challenge, a food blogging challenge which encourages us to prevent food waste, started by Kate from Turquoise Lemons and hosted this month by myself. This month the challenge is all about using up eggs.

I have also included this recipe in the #eggmainsinminutes linky on BritMums as my entry for the Main Meals in Minutes competition sponsored by British Lion Eggs.

  4. Nutritious Deliciousness

    that is a brilliant idea, we love omelettes and the extra veggie on the top (instead of trying to hide them in the omelette)would be great for my 2yr old (& me!)
