This easy Turkey Toscana soup is a perfect one-pot meal loaded with flavors and nutrients. All you need is:

White round plate with an omelette garnished with fresh tomatoes and green onions, recipe for one.

Why you’ll enjoy this omelette recipe for one:

Omelettes are one of our go-to breakfast choices at our favorite local diners, but they are also just easy to make at home. There are so many ways to fill and flavor your omelette. The great thing is that you can easily add whatever veggies and protein you have in your fridge.

The PrepYoSelf Newsletter

Here are the Ingredients You’ll Need:

For this recipe for one, we will use simple ingredients to teach you the basics of how to make an omelette.

  • Eggs: While most diners and restaurants build large-size omelettes using 3 to 5 eggs per serving, we are sticking to 2 large eggs per serving. That’s enough to fill the omelette and is a good portion size for your weekly meal prep.

  • Filling: We are using cheese, however, you can easily add other meat proteins such as breakfast sausage or turkey crumbles

  • Olive Oil: If you’re not using a non-stick pan, you’ll want to grease your pan with oil or cooking spray so that the eggs don’t stick

White round plate with an omelette garnished with fresh tomatoes and green onions, recipe for one.

How to Make an Omelette for One:

  1. Whisk the egg: Crack the eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk the eggs until you break up the egg yolks so that there is a more smooth mixture with the egg whites. 

  2. Add Seasonings: Since the cheese filling already contains a sufficient amount of sodium, we are seasoning the omelette with just a pinch of salt. However, you can easily add other seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or pepper.

  3. Heat the Skillet: Heat oil over medium heat in the non-stick skillet. You’ll want to pour just enough to cover the bottom of the skillet. (Make an additional batch as needed)

  4. Cook the eggs: Allow the eggs to set up for a minute, then take a spatula and gently push the firm portions toward the center of the skillet. Gently lift the skillet and tilt it in a circular motion to allow the runny portion of the eggs to flow into the empty edges of the pan.

  5. Add fillings: When most of the eggs are firmly set, add your fillings and use the spatula to fold the omelette in half.

Reference the recipe card below for detailed instructions.

Meal Prep Tips for Cheese Omelettes:

  • Adding Liquid: When you whisk your eggs, you can also add 1 to 2 teaspoons of milk, half and half, or heavy cream per egg. Adding the milk gives it a slightly richer taste.

  • Adding Vegetables: When adding vegetables, make sure they are chopped into small pieces. Be sure to saute them first, otherwise, they will become watery and make the center of the omelette soggy as it cooks through.

  • Adding oil: You can use olive oil or cooking spray, but if you want to enhance the flavor, frying the omelette with a small teaspoon of butter will give it a nuttier taste and a more golden brown surface that is classic for most diner-style omelettes.

  • To Serve: Enjoy these with fresh fruit. You can also add sliced avocado for healthy fat.

  • Storage: The eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.

  • To Reheat: Heat them in the microwave until they warm through.

  • Let the eggs cook for another 2 to 3 minutes and sprinkle the top of the eggs with the shredded cheese. Gently fold the omelette in half in a moon shape and cook for another 30 seconds to let the cheese melt
  • Garnish with fresh green onions and top it off with freshly sliced cherry tomatoes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to store kale?

Bagged kale can keep in the fridge for up to 5 to 7 days

What is massaged kale?

Massaging kale usually involves adding an acid such as lemon juice with olive oil to chopped kale. Use your hands to massage it for a few minutes to soften the leaves. It results in a glossed and reduced volume. Massaging kale helps break down the tough cell structure and allows for a softer texture and a more appetizing flavor. 

Is it better to eat kale raw or cooked?

 Raw kale is more beneficial than cooked, however, some people find it hard to digest and dislike the bittern flavors, therefore heating it softens some of the tough fibers and make it more appealing to consume.

Round plate with pan-fried fish, green beans, and creamed corn - healthy fish and chips on a plate.

Cooking your own meals and planning what to eat in advance can help you gain control of your health. It’s also a great way to help ensure you have healthy options always available without compromising the foods you love.

A perfect example is this Pan-Fried Tilapia dish that we made. We love ordering fish and chips at restaurants, but sometimes the meal can be too greasy, so we created a version of healthy fish and chips.

Why You’ll Enjoy this Recipe

  • The fish is moist and flaky on the inside with nice golden crispiness on the outside

  • It is made with a flavorful homemade rub and paired with crispy, garlicky green beans and creamed corn

The PrepYoSelf Newsletter

Simple Ingredients for Healthy “Fish and Chips”

  • Tilapia: We used tilapia because it’s budget-friendly, but you can also use catfish or cod

  • Corn Starch: This will help give the crispiness that we enjoy in fish in chips instead of dipping it in a batter that can become too caloric.

  • Creamed Corn: If you’re not a fan of creamed corn, you can use regular corn kernels.

  • Green Beans: We used green beans instead of potatoes for our “chips” because they can be cooked to a crisp that can still give us that crunchy texture of chips

How to Prepare This Healthy “Fish and Chips”

  1. Prepping the Tilapia: Season the tilapia and sprinkle it with corn starch. Make sure they are fully coated

  2. Cooking the Tilapia: Add oil to a heated saute pan and cook the filet on each side until it fully cooks and turns golden brown

  3. Green Beans: Remove the tilapia from the pan and add the green beans. Cook until crispy and add the seasonings

  4. Corn: Heat up the creamed corn in the microwave

Frequently Asked Questions

Is tilapia healthy?

Tilapia is a great source of protein and also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy fats that helps your body function.

What is the difference between corn starch and flour?

Cornstarch is a pure starch that lacks gluten which makes it more efficient in thickening. It is a fine white powder that comes from the white heart of the corn while flour is made from wheat.

Can I use flour if I don’t have corn starch?

Yes, the only difference is that cornstarch makes a crispier finish because it absorbs moisture from the food and expands, giving a crackly, puffy coating on the outside.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will fresh pesto last in the fridge?

It’s best to use it up within 5 days in the fridge for the best flavor and freshness.

Can I freeze pesto?

Yes, we recommend putting them in ice cube trays or in small freezer-safe containers. It can keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Is pesto healthy?

If used in moderation, it can be a healthy way to add flavor to your meals such as a sauce or a marinade. However, because the ingredients do include olive oil, nuts, and sometimes cheese, these ingredients can be high in calories and fat. Therefore, you would want to make sure you incorporate them in balanced portions to your meals. For this recipe, we used olive oil which is primarily unsaturated and can contribute to some heart health benefits.
