1½ dessertspoons olive oil
2 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
2 large onions, minced
6 dessertspoons red or green capsicum, diced
2 large tomatoes, chopped
½ tsp salt
Dash of pepper
5 eggs, lightly beaten (use all the egg whites but only 2 yolks)
Parsley to garnish
Romaine lettuce to garnish

METHOD

1. Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Stir-fry potatoes until soft.
2.   Add the onions and capsicum, and cook for a minute.
2. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Stir in eggs and mix evenly with vegetables.

Fast Fact Other than being a wonderful protein source, egg yolks are packed with choline, a nutrient in the B vitamin family which boosts memory development.  Top Tip! Use less oil when cooking for the family. Instead of deep-frying, choose healthier methods, such as grilling, steaming or boiling. When buying food products, pick items with the Healthier Choice Symbol. They are generally lower in fat, sodium and sugar.
