Sometimes you just want to eat something really quick and tasty, that’s also easy to prepare. That’s where eggs come in. There are so many ways to prepare them, they go with pretty much anything you might have left over in your fridge, and you can have them for breakfast, lunch and dinner (maybe not all on the same day though!)

This FODMAP Friday omelette recipe is probably going to win the award for being the quickest and easiest recipe I’ll ever share with you. I’m going to throw some eggs, tomatoes and cheese together and it’s going to taste really good! You can jazz this up by including some extras like basil leaves, the green parts of spring onions, maybe a pinch of nutmeg, paprika or cayenne pepper. You could add extra vegetables like mushrooms (if you can tolerate them) or proteins like sliced ham, chicken or smoked salmon. We decided to add some nutmeg into the beaten egg – it adds a nice kick to the flavour. Trust me though, it’s very tasty as it is.
