Tips
- This omelette is ideal for an easy dinner and a great way to use up whatever veggies you have on hand. Replace the sweet potato, roasted capsicum and baby spinach leaves with 220 g of leftover steamed, boiled or roasted vegetables e.g pumpkin, carrot, potato or broccoli. Alternatively, use fresh veggies, such as sliced mushrooms, chopped capsicum or halved cherry tomatoes, or a frozen vegetable mix if you prefer.
- Double the recipe and cook in a medium frying pan to serve 2 or whip up extra individual omelettes to feed the whole family.
- Any leftover omelette can be refrigerated and served with a leafy salad for lunch the next day.
