Eggs, eggs. Glorious eggs.
Boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, and in omelet form.
I’ll take all of the above.
I’m not a fan of runny eggs in any way, shape, or form.
Sometimes I am a nice pet mom and give the girls (Tink and Casey) a treat.
My cooking companions: Tink and Casey
I also try to keep my calories in check. From time to time I’ll whip some egg whites with one egg and give the girls each a yolk. Don’t get me started on the cheese. I will gladly swap a few yolks for cheese 😉
For this particular omelet I made some of my homemade sausage, but instead of using pork I used ground turkey I had picked up on sale. I made it into crumbles instead of patties or links.
With the premade turkey sausage, breakfast can be on the table in 15 – 30 minutes or less.
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites
- 2 oz shredded colby-jack
- 4 oz cooked ground turkey sausage
- salt
- pepper
- parsley
- In a small bowl whisk the egg and egg whites together.
- Salt and pepper to your taste.
- Pour the egg mixture in a greased small skillet over low to medium heat.
- Allow eggs to cook completely on one side and flip.
- While the other side is cooking place 1 oz of cheese on one half of the omelet.
- On top of the cheese add the ground turkey sausage.
- Flip the other half of the egg over.
- Place on plate.
- Garnish with remaining cheese and parsley.

July 17, 2014 at 8:55 pmI remember when I had pets that I used to feed them eggs. That made their coats so shiney. Your eggs look delish… healthy too.
chrystal says
July 18, 2014 at 1:05 pmYes, it really does. I try not to feed them too much, but a couple a week does seem to be a great treat for them.

July 18, 2014 at 9:03 amI have started eating only egg whites or egg beaters. Makes a huge calorie difference – plus they taste delicious!
chrystal says
July 18, 2014 at 12:51 pmI tend to stick to pretty low carb, whole food when I eat because it helps with my PCOS and over all health issues. I just eat 1 egg because it keeps me full longer. If I am going for scrambled or omelets I give the extra yolks to the dogs but always keep one for the extra protein. I just can’t do egg beaters. Something in the makes my stomach hurt.

chrystal says
July 18, 2014 at 12:45 pmI like them. But sometimes I don’t always need them. I love eggs and all their creaminess. I tend to take some out when I make omelets, that way the dogs can have a treat too.

July 18, 2014 at 12:42 pmThat sounds really good! I’d actually make it completely egg white as that’s what I like most. 🙂

July 18, 2014 at 1:53 pmThis sounds so good and healthy. Eggs are not always easy for me to eat but when I limit to mostly egg whites I can handle it better. I’m going to try this recipe.

July 21, 2014 at 4:29 pmYou are very welcome. I can highly suggest shopping the perimeter of the super market and staying away from the middle isles where all the prepackaged foods hide.
