Here’s a quick, simple recipe that’s good for lunch or a light dinner. It’s a great way of using weekend leftovers and the avocado just makes it that extra bit filling.
RECIPE: SWEET POTATO, CHERRY TOMATO & AVOCADO OMELETTE (vegetarian, gluten-free)
Ingredients (serves 1 or 2 as snack):
- 2 eggs
- Small chunk of cheese (approx 25g) grated
- 2 tablespoons water
- Quarter red onion sliced

Instructions:
- Whisk the 2 eggs with the water. Mix in seasoning and cheese.

I got into a bit of debate with a pal who told me this not an omelette but frittata. Well you say frittata, I say omelette. What say you?
