Egg / Omelet Dishes For Weight Loss

Banana Omelet

Banana Omelet

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 3 eggs, separated
• Dash cayenne pepper  (lal mirch)
• Water, Salt and pepper
• Sprinkle parsley (optional)
 

Method

Cut banana in half lengthways and then cut each half into 3 (6 pieces all up). Place on a baking ray lined with baking paper and bake in an oven pre-heated to 180degrees Celsius until softened and brown. The riper the banana and longer it is left in the oven, the more it will dry out.
In a bowl whisk together egg yolks, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper and a little water. In another bowl beat egg whites until light and fluffy and soft peaks form. Fold in the egg yolk mixture and pour into a frying pan on medium heat, with baking paper on top.
 When the bottom of the eggs have cooked, turn the mixture over by placing another sheet of baking paper to the side and flipping the eggs onto it, then transfer it onto the heated frying pan and cook for an extra 2-3 minutes, or until browned on the bottom.
 When omelet is cooked turn onto a plate and place banana pieces on top, sprinkling with some cinnamon and chopped parsley.
