I wanted something hearty and healthy one night, and after flipping through Hungry-Girls’ 1-2-3 cookbook, I decided to edit one of her recipes. She had oven-baked omelette lasagna which used zucchini instead of lasagna noodles (a recipe I MUST try, especially after ready about Lori trying it). Unfortunately, however, on this day I didn’t have zucchini. So I figured I’d forgo the lasagna part of the recipe and just make a giant baked omelette. And wow was it easy!
I basically just combined everything I’d normally put in an omelette (tomatoes and mushrooms being the key pieces, plus spices) and used fat-free liquid egg substitute (I happened to use Better’n Eggs since I had so much luck with Better’n Peanut Butter). We also threw in some Purdue Short Cuts for extra protein. Then I topped it with Weight Watchers shredded cheese…
And baked it…
The portion was HUGE for the points and I was totally stuffed after eating this.
One quarter of the full recipe is FIVE points! That is insane!
