olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier and has a high smoke point.

onions

🥗Healthier: leeks

💰Cheaper: scallions

Leeks offer a milder flavor, while scallions are often less expensive.

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Egg whites reduce cholesterol while maintaining protein.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

Sweet potatoes add nutrients, while frozen hash browns save prep time.

1

Start by heating a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add plenty of olive oil.

2

Thinly slice 1 potato and add it to the hot skillet, cooking until translucent.

3

While the potatoes are cooking, slice 1 sweet plantain and set aside.

4

Slice chorizo into thin rounds and prepare to add it to the skillet.

5

Add the sliced chorizo and diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes, cooking until fragrant.

6

In a bowl, crack several eggs and season with salt and black pepper, mixing well.

7

Once the vegetables are cooked, pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.

8

Transfer the skillet to the oven to cook the omelette until set.

9

Let the omelette cool for about 30 minutes before loosening the edges with a knife and gently wiggling it to ensure it’s not stuck.

10

Optionally, flip the omelette onto a plate to serve, and garnish with chives and cheese if desired.
