My ADHD-Friendly Go To Breakfast: Easy Cheesy Pepper Omelette

_{This easy omelette recipe post may contain affiliate links}

I have some form of eggs every morning. In the summer months I like to keep them simple with a side of my favourite seasonal fruit. Usually that’s strawberries or stonefruit like peaches or apricots. But in the colder months I always go for this easy omelette recipe.

What makes this omelette ADHD-friendly

It uses frozen pre-chopped peppers so there’s zero prep. I char them in a pan with a little butter, whisk two eggs in a jug and pour them over. Scatter some pre-grated low fat cheddar on top. Take it off the heat, put the lid on and walk away to make my coffee. By the time I finish making my coffee, the egg has set and the cheese has melted. Easy peasy (extra cheesy).

Personally I prefer to cook my eggs in butter. I use reduced fat cheese and skimmed milk in my coffee, which keeps the overall breakfast fairly balanced. For an ADHDer who does better on protein and fat than carbs first thing, it genuinely sets me up well.

I use a Cooks Standard stainless steel pan. I love it because it’s multi-ply clad so it heats evenly and works on induction. It’s also oven safe, which makes it useful beyond just eggs.

I don’t wait for the pan to fully preheat. I add the butter as soon as it starts to warm and put the frozen peppers straight in so they don’t go nuts when frozen meets screaming hot. They temper the heat naturally so nothing burns, and the butter does the rest. The key is to add another small knob of butter after browning the peppers and before pouring in the egg mixture. Make sure the butter coats the pan evenly, then pour over the eggs, remove from the heat immediately and place the lid on. That way you get just the right amount of golden brown on your eggs without losing half of them to egg tax.
