Sesame Vegie Omelet

"From Recipe Magazine April 2009 - sounds and looks like a perfect breakfast for a diabetic (protien and veg. and if you want/need the carb add a slice of toast). I have changed the recipe a little - they cooked the egg/omelet first and then the veg but thought it was better to cook the veg first and keep warm in the oven. They also recommended the use of mixed frozen vegies, thawed especially if you can get them at a discounted price."

  1. I just don't have the patience to wait when it comes to being hungry first thing in the morning. That said, this recipe makes a great scramble with the veggies being fried first and then adding the eggs. Scramble it all together and it comes out perfect. Mouthwatering and very filling!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
