You will need: •One egg •Baby tomatoes •Shredded cheese •Hot sauce •Tortilla 1. Spray down a pan with oil or Pam and put the stovetop on medium heat. 2. Slice the baby tomatoes into smaller portions.

Next, scramble an egg, or cook it sunny-side up whatever your preference is. 4. Place the cooked egg in the tortilla and sprinkle cheese on top. Use as much hot sauce as you would like.

Omelets pixabay.com If you have a little extra time to try something classy and sophisticated, making an omelet is the right choice for a top-notch breakfast. You will need: •Three eggs •Spinach •Baby tomatoes •Cheese 1. Spray down a pan with oil or Pam and put the stovetop on high heat. 2. Slice the baby tomatoes into smaller portions. Scramble three eggs together, but do not add milk. 3. Sauté the spinach and baby tomatoes for a few minutes, then pour the egg mixture in. Immediately lower the heat levels down to low or medium. Let the egg mixture cook, occasionally using a spatula to lift the cooked egg portion to allow the uncooked egg mixture to reach the bottom of the pan. 4. Once the mixture is solid enough, it’s time to flip it. If you are brave, try to flip the omelet using only the pan and your strength. If not, that’s okay, use the spatula to flip your omelet. Once your omelet is completely cooked, feel free to sprinkle some cheese in the middle and then close it up, allowing the cheese to melt on the inside. Bon appetit!
