4 large eggs
1 cup arugula microgreens
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped chives for garnish
Whisk together the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat, then pour in the eggs, swirling to coat the pan.
As the omelette begins to set, sprinkle arugula microgreens and both types of cheese over one half.
Once fully cooked, fold the omelette in half and cook until the cheese is melted, then serve garnished with chives.
Microgreens are young edible plants harvested shortly after germination. Published research reports that nutrient and phytochemical concentrations vary substantially by species, seed source, growing conditions, harvest stage, and storage, so crop-specific health claims should be interpreted cautiously.
• Microgreens have been studied as sources of vitamins, carotenoids, minerals, and other bioactive plant compounds.
moderate evidence• Nutrient composition cannot be assumed to be identical across microgreen varieties or production systems.
strong evidence• ChefPax presents this crop primarily for culinary flavor, texture, freshness, and menu variety rather than as a treatment or medical product.
