Day 7 Breakfast – Onions and Mushroom Omelet
Servings | Prep Time | Cook Time |
4 People | 10 Minutes | 4 Minutes |
Ingredients1 cup of finely chopped onions 2 cups of chopped mushrooms 12 eggs Sea salt and pepper to season 2 tbs olive oil 4 tbs pine nuts (optional) |
Instructions
- Heat oil in frying pan on medium heat, fry 1/4 cup of a finely chopped onion and 1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms for 3-4min or until lightly browned, remove from pan.
- Whisk 3 eggs at a time in a bowl then place in the frying pan with a ¼ of onions, until eggs are cooked through. Add sea salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and stir in pine nuts before serving (alternatively, you can roast the pine nuts first, and then add at this step)
Tips or Substitute:
You can omit the eggs and stuff the mushrooms into gluten free crepes or tortillas.
1 ¾ cups gluten free flour
pinch sea salt
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 cups non-dairy milk
coconut oil for frying
Whisk all ingredients together to make a smooth batter. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and melt some coconut oil in the pan. Add ¼ cup of batter to the pan and swirl the pan to spread the batter out. Cook for 1-2 minutes and then flip the crepe over and cook until lightly golden.
Why it works:
Mushrooms – are a great little multimineral supplement. They have selenium, copper, potassium and zinc.
Eggs – are the perfect protein packed in a little package. Eggs will boost your energy easily.
Olive oil – is a heart healthy oil
Pine nuts – contain lots of protein and B1. The European pine nut has more than twice the amount of protein than the American version

5 Minutes |
Ingredients2 cans of Tuna (Solid White Tuna Fish Flaked) 1 red bell pepper, chopped 3 green onions, chopped 1 can of corn kernels, drained dash of paprika 4 gluten-free wraps |

IngredientsReady-made Gluten-free pizza crust 3 tbs olive oil (divided) 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1 lb fresh block mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 5 ripe tomatoes, sliced thin 1/3 cup fresh basil leaf, chopped salt and pepper |

- Drizzle cooked crust with a little more than 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and use a brush to spread until the entire crust is moistened, adding more olive oil as needed.
- Spread sliced garlic evenly on top.
- Top with a single layer of 1/4″ thick slices of mozzarella and then fill in any gaps in between the slices by sprinkling with the shredded mozzarella.
- Place thinly sliced tomatoes on top of cheese in a single layer, spaced closely together.
- Sprinkle with roughly chopped basil.
- Drizzle with the remaining olive oil (about 1/2 tablespoon) and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
- Bake 15 minutes or until browned
Tips or Substitute:
You can make this pizza dairy free by using a non-dairy cheese or cashew cream instead of the mozzarella. You can also add more veggies (zucchini, bell peppers or mushrooms) and a healthy drizzle of olive oil on the top.
Why it works:
Garlic – is a great antimicrobial and immune system booster.
Cheese – a source of protein for your energy
Tomatoes – help protect against cancer and against oxidative stress
Basil – is used in China for spasms of the intestinal tract, kidney issues, and poor circulation
