Description
Savor our Herb Ricotta Omelets packed with chickpeas & mushrooms for a nutritious breakfast. Quick, easy, and deliciously satisfying.
4 large eggs
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh herbs, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of feta cheese
Prep your ingredients: Slice your mushrooms and chop your herbs. Give your chickpeas a quick rinse and drain.
Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy.
Cook the mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chickpeas: Toss in the cooked chickpeas and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Set the filling aside: Transfer the mushroom and chickpea mixture to a plate.
Make the omelet: In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and pour in half of the beaten eggs. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until just set.
Add your filling: Spoon half of the ricotta and half of the mushroom-chickpea mixture over one half of the omelet; fold the other half over.
Finish cooking: Cook for another minute until the cheese is warm and melted. Repeat for the second omelet.
Serve and enjoy: Transfer omelets to plates and sprinkle with fresh herbs and optional toppings.
