Broccoli and Cheese Omelet

• ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 6 broccoli floret, steamed
• 1 slice Swiss cheese
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon canola oil

In a small bowl, beat the egg with egg whites until it is light and fluffy and then add in the salt and black pepper. In a non stick pan or skillet, add a tablespoon of canola oil and rotate the pan so that the oil is evenly distributed. When the pan gets heated, pour in the egg mixture and rotate pan again so that the pan is completely covered by the egg mixture.

Buttermilk Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1 large organic egg
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• Cooking spray

Method

Crack the egg in a small bowl and lightly beat it with a fork. Keep this aside. In another bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Make a small well in the center of your flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk, oil and beaten egg and combine everything well until you get a batter of a fairly thick consistency. Pour this batter with the help of a spoon into a nonstick griddle or skillet into small rounds. Let it cook for 2 minutes and then flip them to the other side with the help of a spatula. When both the sides are cooked, transfer two buttermilk pancakes into a plate and get ready to devour them. The Weight Watchers points is 6 for two pancakes.

• ¼ teaspoon salt

Method

Coat a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray and then arrange the cubes of French bread in a single layer. In a non stick skillet, cook the diced onions and turkey sausages until they are browned and transfer to the casserole. Place a layer of grated cheese over the sausage and onion mixture. In a bowl, combine the egg with milk, salt, black pepper and dry mustard and then pour it over the casserole. Press the bread and sausage with a spatula to make sure that the bread is totally covered in the milk and egg mixture. Cover the casserole with a cling film and chill in the refrigerator overnight. Bake the casserole in a moderately hot oven for half an hour until the dish is set and it is browned at the top. This is one of the best Weight Watchers breakfast casserole recipes and it has 3 points per serving. One serving of this dish is equivalent to 1/12 casserole.
