Free Your Food

I am a Finnish girl living in Portugal writing about my adventures in the World of Food. I have dedicated my blog to gluten- and sugar-free recipes. Many of my recipes are also dairy-free, lactose-free, egg-free, grain-free, vegan and/or vegetarian. I use organic or locally sourced seasonal ingredients whenever possible. All my recipes are tagged with the appropriate -free labels (e.g. dairy-free), so that you can quickly and easily find the recipes that suit your individual needs.

Eggy Brekkie - Vegetable Omelette

I started the day with one of my favourite breakfasts... Eggy Brekkie. Quick, easy and tasty.

Eggy Brekkie

organic free-range eggs
courgette
leek
(spinach)
sea salt
pepper
paprika
extra virgin olive oil

1. Mix the eggs and the spices with a fork. To get an idea about the proportions, veggies are the main ingredient! I typically use two eggs and loads of veggies.
2. Cut the courgette and the leek.
3. If you intend to use a lot of spinach, you might want to steam it first so that it'll all fit in the frying pan!
4. Heat the oil in the frying pan, add the veggies and pour in the egg mixture. Let it all cook under a lid, mixing the ingredients every now and then. Don't let it cook too long, though; it's nicer if the courgette remains a bit crisp.
