Breakfast of Champions

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it revs up the metabolism for the day's activities.  A protein-packed breakfast of eggs is a good way to fuel up, but it's important to limit the grease factor.  Recently, I've also been trying to (tastefully) sneak a serving of vegetables into my breakfast. 

Enter the spinach-feta omelette:

Saute some spinach with a little olive oil and minced garlic in a pan.  Transfer to a plate and set aside.

In a bowl, whisk together two large eggs and a splash of milk.  Stir in some basil, oregano, pepper or whatever seasoning you like. 

Pour the mixture into the pre-greased, preheated spinach pan over medium heat. As the bottom cooks, pull the edges of the egg layer inward and allow the liquid portion to flow to the sides of the pan.  Once the top of the omelette is nearly set, spread the spinach over half of it.  Sprinkle some feta cheese over the spinach, and fold the other half of the omelette over it.  Allow the omelette to heat for another minute or two over low heat.

The spinach marks off your first vegetable serving for the day, and the feta adds an interesting element, with about a third less fat and significantly fewer calories than cheddar cheese.
