When you have children, playful nutrition is important. If they can play with their food, kids will basically eat everything you give them. This is an example of creative omelet recipe designed for children who hate spinach, carrots, bell peppers or tomatoes. It’s an omelet in four colors which takes a bit longer to cook than a common one, but it’s worth trying, for the sake of feeding your child balanced meals, healthy and full of essential nutrients.

Ingredients for 2 omelets:

• 4 eggs
• 2 ounces baby spinach, chopped, which will give us the green part of the omelet
• 2 ounces carrots, grated, for the orange part of the dish
• 1 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped, for the yellow part
• 1 small tomato, diced (this can be replaced with tomato sauce), for the red part of this playful meal
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt to taste

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 10-15 minutes

Directions for cooking:

You are going to make four different one-egg omelets, in the four colors, then combine them on the two plates in such a way as to obtain the “four seasons” on each plate. If you want to obtain other colors, just think what foods you could use to help you color the omelet the way you want. Kids will love to guess the colors of the day! Break each egg in a separate bowl, then put one vegetable in each of the egg bowls, together with some salt. Cook one omelet at a time, fold them after cooking, then cut each of them in two, so you get a double-layered quarter of circle from each omelet. Combine them on the two plates, make two funny faces from chopped olives, tomatoes and parsley as food decor, then invite your kids to play and eat while the food is still hot.
