So many cultures eat eggs for dinner, and I see why. They are a great source of protein, low calorie, and super inexpensive. Not to mention there are so many different ways to prepare them quickly. I love paring up Trader Joe’s Scallion Pancakes, with a simple omelet . Put a dollop of their tasty Tzatziki sauce on top, and you have a quick healthy meal, that you can enjoy any time of the day.

Directions
Step 1: Spray your fry pan with a little olive oil spray. On M/H heat warm up a defrosted scallion pancake.
Step 2: While pancake is heating up ( flip to warm both sides) place one full egg with two egg whites in a small bowl. Add one T of water and whisk all together.
Step 3: When your eggs are whisked, your pancake will be heated through, remove from pan, and put on your dinner plate. There will be some oil in your fry pan and this is ok. Pour your eggs directly into your fry pan. I like to use a fairly small fry pan for an individual serving. When eggs start getting solid, gently push the cooked eggs so that the runny eggs form on the outside. Cover with a lid to cook up the top. If the bottom of your eggs start getting too brown, now is a good time to gently turn your eggs. If your omelet breaks it is ok, they will still taste the same. The eggs cook up pretty fast so keep a close eye.
Step 4: Remove omelet and place on top of the scallion pancake.
Step 5: Put 2T of Tzitziki Sauce on top.
Step 6: Enjoy!
