Sweet Cinnamon Omelet with Berries

This sweet cinnamon omelet is one of my favorite quick breakfasts. It reminds me of a soft cinnamon crepe, but it’s easier to make! The gentle creaminess of eggs works perfectly paired with cinnamon, berries and a touch of maple syrup.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
2-3 tbsp milk of choice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2-3 tsp maple syrup
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/3 – 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
Handful your favorite granola, for topping
olive oil, coconut oil or butter for cooking the omelet

Instruction:

Place frozen berries in a small saucepan and add ¼ cup of water. Cook over the stove on a low heat until warm and thickened, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon and maple syrup. Heat a non-stick pan up to a moderate heat and add a teaspoon of oil or butter.
Pour in the egg mixture and cook until almost set, then flip and cook for a minute more.
Slide the omelet out onto a plate. Spread one half with yoghurt, then the berry compote, then fold the other half over on top. Scoop over any remaining berry compote and sprinkle over granola, if using. Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Notes

*If you don’t like flipping omelet, an alternative cooking option is to make the omelet in an oven-safe fry pan and finish it quickly in the oven. To do this, preheat your oven to 180C before you start cooking the omelet. Start making the omelet on the stove as above, but when it’s starting to set, pop it in the oven for 3-5 minutes to cook the top. Too easy and no need to flip!

*Fresh berries can be used in place of frozen berries. You can cook them into a compote or simply use them fresh as they are.
