🍽️ 1 portion

Ingredients

  • 100g halloumi cheese

  • 1/2 tbsp honey

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 avocado

  • 30g shredded mozzarella

Method

  • Take a small pan and bring it to medium heat. Add the shredded halloumi and drizzle some honey on top. Add the 2 beaten eggs and cover with a lid for 3min until the eggs set.

  • To one hald of the omelette add the shredded mozarella, and the sliced avocado. Season with the salt, chilli flakes. Using a spatula fold the omelette in hald and cook for 1-2 more min so the mozarella melts.

  • Remove the omelette from the pan, drizzle with some more honey and enjoy while hot!

FAQS and Tips

  • Is halloumi good for breakfast? Yes! Halloumi is high in protein and fat, making it a great option for a filling, energising breakfast.

  • Can I make this omelette low calorie? You can reduce the mozzarella or honey slightly, but this recipe is designed to be satisfying and nutrient-dense.

  • What can I serve with a halloumi omelette? Try it with toast, a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

  • Can I store leftovers? This omelette is best eaten fresh, as the halloumi crust loses its crispiness when reheated.
