Ham & Mixed Veg Omelette

Ham & Mixed Veg Omelette

 

Well, there is a story behind this recipe! My little monkey had refused to eat fruit and veg for approximately 3 days and I was not impressed. So this was one of those I threw together out of pure desperation, but it worked and Tyler hasn't had a problem with his 5 a day since! This recipe will take 15 minutes to prepare, cook & serve - great for you busy parents AND will not cost more than 50p! What is not to love?

 

The final product.

 

Ingredients

 

• 1 medium size egg (pack of 6 free range, 89p Lidl)
• 3 heaped table spoons of frozen mixed veg (£1 a bag, Iceland)
• 1 slice of wafer thin breaded ham (£1 per pack, Iceland)
• 2 chopped up baby spinach leaves (£1, Lidl)
• 50ml whole milk
• 1 teaspoon of butter

 

The Not-so Nitty Gritty

 

1. Beat the egg until a smooth consistency is achieved.
2. Add the milk and butter and whisk by hand.
3. Add the veg, spinach and chopped up ham to the mixture.
4. Add the mixture to a very hot frying pan with just a drizzle of olive oil in.
5. Cook for five minutes, until the bottom appears to solidify.
6. Place under the grill on a high heat for 7 minutes or until the top is no longer runny.

 

Now serve, how easy was that?

 

What Little Monster Made of It.....

 

Tyler was thoroughly impressed as per usual, he loves this recipe, one of his favourite meals and he gobbled it all up. This is how he started learning how to use his fork. Mummy had one too and loved it. Perfect all round for our lunch.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Do not give your child ham until they are at least one year old. And do not use much in your child's diet as ham is a processed meat and as it will contain a high amount of salt. Using ham in my son's diet is a personal choice, I'm not saying it is right or wrong but my son eats what I eat but in smaller doses. It is important your child has a balanced diet with calcium being key at 1 year or over.
