This recipe is a high protein breakfast, lunch or dinner. Instead of traditional cheese, I’ve used nutritional yeast to give it that delicious cheesy taste while keeping it dairy-free friendly — although there’s also a cheese option if dairy works for you. I’ve also added extra egg whites for an added protein boost, making this omelette satisfying, nourishing, and ideal for a healthy start to the day.
