Make healthier recipes like this kitchen garden omelet by growing an organic garden and cooking from your own kitchen garden. Using vegetables and herbs straight from your home garden is about the most organic way (provided you don’t use toxic pesticides) to make your own home-cooked meals. Add chickens to your yard, and eat organic eggs for even more healthy meals.

Eggs are filling and satisfying on any morning. When eating a nutritious omelet for breakfast or brunch, it helps to make it through the day until dinner.

Do organic farmers use pesticides?

Organic farming doesn’t mean exactly that absolutely no pesticides are used. However, pesticides that are used in organic farming means that toxic pesticides aren’t used. Read more at EcoWatch about organic farming and the use of pesticides, which ones are natural and which ones are toxic.

Sharp cheddar cheese was used for the recipe, but you can use veggie cheese or low-fat cheese if you prefer. Or, skip the cheese altogether.

Cooking Omelets with Vegetable and Herbs from a Home Kitchen Garden

Kitchen gardens come in handy when making omelets. I had a little vegetable and herb garden at one of the houses my husband and I owned once.

This kitchen garden omelet recipe was made one Sunday morning when I cooked a kitchen garden omelet with some leftover ground turkey and cheddar cheese for Hubs and me.  I walked out to the herb and veggie garden just outside the kitchen and chose a mini green bell pepper, a few basil leaves, and a couple of tomatoes from my Roma tomato plant. I love to use fresh herbs and veggies from the garden.

How to make the perfect omelet

Want to make the perfect omelet? Purchase an omelet pan if you plan on cooking omelets often. My eggs kept sticking to the only omelet pan I’ve owned. I fixed that problem. I started cooking the omelets on an electric griddle and using a spatula to shape them.

An omelet pan:

Make rectangle shapes, half moon, or however you want your omelets to look. No problem, though, should yours not come out looking ideal.
