Fridge Emptier Omelet

My life has been crazy in the past few months, traveling back and forth between Italy, the UAE, and the Netherlands. It has not been easy to manage my IBS. For this reason, whenever I have the chance to eat at home in Amsterdam or Italy, I honestly can’t wait to detox myself and finally feel less bloated.

My major issue I have is I don’t want to waste food every time I leave. This said, I try all the ingredients I need to finish it and create a new exciting recipe!

In this case, my sweet mother-in-law gave me some fresh eggs directly from her neighbor's hens, I had some prosciutto Cotto, the Italian version of ham, and some Parmigiano Reggiano (my biggest addiction, I love the fact that it's lactose-free and so tasty!) and some random leftover veggies.

A quick and easy omelet sounded like the easiest choice so I made it and added a side of my forever favorite sweet tomatoes. Of of course, you can change them with your favorite stress-free veggies.

It's filling, full of proteins, and delicious at the same time, this for sure will be satisfying both for your mouth and gut!
