The proper nutrition and the right diet are key to having a good supply of nourishing milk. Nursing is no time to diet or skimp on nutrients. Eat plenty health-promoting fats from foods like free range eggs, organic whipping cream, organic butter & avocado as breast milk is largely composed of fat. Our nursing omelet is a perfect way to tick all of the boxes.
Here is breakfast recipe that will nourish you and your baby with healthy fats, proteins and nutrients that you require.
Nursing Omelet
Ingredients
- 2 free range eggs
- 1 tablespoon of organic butter
- 1 tablespoon of organic whipping cream
- 1 diced organic turkey sausage
- ½ an avocado sliced
- ¼ cup chopped chives & cilantro
- ¼ cup grated sharp cheddar
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- Salsa to garnish
Instructions
- Chop and sauté sausage in a cast iron skillet until soft.
- While sausage cooks, crack eggs into a bowl & add cream & a touch of salt (Cream protects the fragile nutrient in the egg, and the fat in the cream aids absorption of vitamin A from the yolk and butter).
- Whisk eggs & cream lightly (Do not too long or omelet will be tough).
- Add butter to skillet and coat entire surface, tip skillet and add in egg mix slowly.
- Reduce heat to medium and wait for underside to lightly brown.
- When cooked add chives, cilantro, avocado slices and cheese to top, switch temperature to low.
- With a spatula flip omelet in half. Allow one side to cook and flip. Beware to not overcook.
- Slide omelet on to plate and enjoy. You may garnish with salt and pepper, salsa or eat with sprouted grain toast, don’t forget the butter.
How to Make an Omelet that’s great for Nursing Moms
The key to a great omelette (omelet) is that you use a non-stick skillet. You want to avoid oil if you can. The mistake I tend to make (it smells so good!) is to flip too early. This means that the crust doesn’t form and it ends up looking like a huge mess. If you are like me, there are more sophisticated electric omelet makers that also double for pizza-pocket creators!
