How to make this dairy free omelet:

the best pan for omelets:
A good non-stick pan will be your best bet for an omelet. It’ll only require a little bit of olive oil which you can spread across the pan with this basting brush. The omelet won’t stick which is important for closing it and getting a good texture.
We use this 10″ skillet for our omelets and it works great. Any non-stick pan will work but if you’re in the market for a new one be sure to check it out.
meal prep it:
There’s nothing like a fresh omelet but you might not have time to chop and sauté the vegetables for it. Prepping the vegetables in advance will save you time and make you more likely to make an omelet.
Simply chop the vegetables and sauté them when you’re doing your meal prep. Place them in an airtight container in the fridge. When you’re ready to make your omelet just add them to the omelet and you’re done!
The great thing about prepping your veggies? You get a fresh omelet quickly.
what to serve with this dairy free omelet:
Vegetable omelets are a great dish to serve for breakfast or lunch. They’re packed with protein from the eggs and nutrients from the vegetables. You only need a healthy carb like our delicious rolls or roasted sweet potatoes to complete the meal.
You can also add a side of fruit and coffee!
