Spinach, Tomato and Mozzarella Omelette

Feb 19, 2016 · 17 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Start the mornings off with a satisfying and power packed meal. This breakfast omelette is packed with protein, fresh tomatoes and spinach and served alongside a nice cup of Lipton Tea.

Marcus Aurelius remarked, “When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” In other words, it is a uniquely human quality to appreciate not just the grander things in life, but the simple fact of life itself.

It is a sentiment I obviously share…except in the morning, when “being alive” feels more akin to being the “waking dead,” and when even breathing is a chore, thinking is impossible, and enjoyment and love feel almost antithetical to existence itself.

That, of course, is the reason behind my morning rituals, which serve to ease me into the flow of the day. A few minutes of quiet reading before starting my work. Positively refusing to acknowledge the unending stream of alerts from my cell phone until I’ve had my first sip of tea. Refusing to look at my computer or even think about work until I’ve had breakfast.

In other words, for me, the process of getting out of bed is an exercise in will power, placation, and mind games.

This brings us to today’s recipe, which is perfect for those mornings where I require just a little extra push, or just a little extra something to look forward to – a spinach, tomato, and mozzarella omelet, paired with any of my favorite Lipton Teas, in particular the chai tea. It’s a healthy breakfast that’s just simple enough not to dent my morning schedule, yet filling enough to both satisfy my cravings and give me a lasting boost. A quintessential power breakfast.

The omelet is a classic mix of baby spinach and freshly diced tomato folded into a blanket of eggs whipped with salt, pepper, a lashing of nutmeg, and a dash of milk. For an added layer of complexity, I toss the spinach with garlic and olive oil in a frying pan before adding them to the eggs as shown below. This pairs excellently with the Lipton Chai Tea, as I mentioned before, due to the tea’s combination of real ingredients and expert herbal blends. Served with a few English muffins topped with marmalade, and you couldn’t have a more pleasant start to the day.

However, if you need an extra bit of energy, the Lipton Green Teas are light and fresh tasting, and bear a positively delightful aroma, while giving that uplifting green tea boost. After breakfast, however, once I’m sitting at my desk, I prefer Lipton Black Teas due to their bold aromas and unique flavors, which puts a welcome twist on more traditional black tea.

    We are big tea drinkers in my family! We come from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and a lot of tea is grown there… so a hot cup is always welcome. 🙂 Love the omelette… what comforting breakfast. 🙂

    I love your breakfast idea, since that is almost what I have for breakfast. It’s filling and looks delicious.
    Tea is something we consume at least twice in a day. Having a cup of tea after a meal is more comforting than dessert, and I don’t mind dessert by the way 🙂

    Good morning Catherine:)
    What a lovely get up and go breakfast you have prepared for yourself:) Funny thing is, I make breakfasts like this for Marion in the morning but not usually fo myself, lol….And yes, Marion is a tea drinker from way back when, lol…She drinks Lipton tea and recently I have introduced her to Lipton’s Green Tea which she seems to like in the afternoon.

    I love this breakfast Catherine, actually, this dish would be great for dinner too during the season of Lent.

    Thank you so much for sharing, Catherine…I hope you are staying warm down in New York. I hear it’s going to be a pretty warm weekend!

    Oh what a delicious omelette, Catherine! It’s been way too long since I’ve made an omelette, so I definitely need to change that. I love the spinach and tomato combination. Definitely perfect for enjoying a cup of tea!

    Tea is a HUGE part of my morning ritual (and quite frankly, the rest of the day, too)! I can’t drink coffee too early in the morning now! Love this morning spread you have here!

    Catherine, this is my perfect breakfast! My husband can only make omelets. Which is quite a feat since he can’t even make a grilled cheese half the time 🙂 But when he surprises me with one, this is the filling I want. YUM!
