IN THE KITCHEN VIDEO: A SIMPLE OMELETTE
Food of the day: Eggs
Eggs are always a wonderful food to have on hand in your kitchen. Not only are the possibilities of how to prepare them abundant, eggs are a relatively inexpensive source of protein and are packed with many other vital nutrients.
Both the egg whites and yolks are full of vitamins, minerals, protein and healthy fats. The yolk is made up of cholesterol, Vitamin D and E, as well as essential fatty acids. The whites are where the bulk of the protein comes from and is full of Vitamin B. This versatile ingredient is also a great source of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals like zinc, iron and copper. You will even find betaine and choline, nutrients that support heart health.
At Kitchen on Fire, we love all the creative ways you can incorporate eggs into any meal. One simple, quick and delicious way is an omelette. In this cooking demo, Chef Olive shares his way of making a delicious omelette that is easy to make at home, or wherever you find yourself!
