Super easy, cheap, tasty, healthy “fastfood”! Wahey!
This is my favourite omelette as the combo of the sweet tomato puree, cheese, basil and oregano really remind me of a pizza, AND there is so much nutrition in the ingredients, you can also squeeze more in there by adding lots of veg and chilli. Plus tomato puree provides better absorption/bio-availability of lycopene than fresh tomatoes as it’s more concentrated and has been cooked, 1 generous tablespoon actually counts as 1 of your 5 a day! Brilliant!To add in even more veggie goodness, serve with a side salad. Try to opt for an organic cheese if you can, as I mentioned in my cheap organic buys post it’ll contain more beneficial omega 3 fats, meaning nutrition galore in this recipe if you choose wisely.
