Smoked Sablefish & Radish Flagel

Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Omelet

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

The key to this healthy omelet recipe is cooking the eggs over low heat so the curds set up nice and soft. A splash of milk in the eggs is added insurance to keep the omelet from turning rubbery.

Spanakopita Scrambled Egg Pitas

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This meatless dinner comes together in only 15 minutes, thanks to the convenience of frozen chopped spinach and crumbled feta. We've added a flavorful burst of sun-dried tomato tapenade to spread over the whole-wheat pita before nestling the scrambled eggs inside. If you can't find it, basil pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto also work well.
