How This Cheese and Tomato Omelette Came About!
You know Folks, I’m seriously looking forward to things calming down!
As I mentioned in the previous no bake apple and cinnamon oat bars recipe I've been on a world tour of Scotland over these last few weeks.
Staying in hotels and missing out on my gym workout and home workout has been difficult. I like routine when it comes to my fitness.
I get paranoid when I'm not keeping to my weekly exercise routine.
It's not so easy to request that your employer puts you in a hotel with a gym though is it? Especially when you're there to work!
And nor would it have been worth it either seeing as I was going to bed at midnight and getting up and returning to the office at 7am!
Anyway, I digress sorry!
Whilst driving to my companies other offices these last few weeks it's given me time to think about quick healthy recipes.
And specifically ones you can make with limited equipment.
My companies offices mostly have ovens and I wondered how I might be able to make an omelette quickly without having to stand at the stove top. Could an omelette be made in an oven instead?
The answer was yes! After a few tries getting the right ratios, so it baked perfectly and didn't turn out too watery I perfected this delicious baked omelette.
And I think my employer should reward me more as I was able to work whilst this was baking in the oven taking only half of time I could have for lunch!!
