Loudoun Valley Breakfast Omelette

In Loudoun County, you can have the best of all worlds, but that starts with a well-balanced breakfast. The American Heart Association notes that eating 12 eggs per week, while a source of dietary cholesterol, had no negative impact on cardiovascular health. Maybe don’t eat all 12 at once, but you might be tempted to with this recipe!

One of the best parts of the Loudoun Made Loudoun Grown Marketplace is the choices you can make. At least three farms (Homestead 1870, SunPower Farm and Kathy Ann’s Farm) sell eggs, including chicken, duck, goose and quail eggs. Each egg type comes with their pros and cons, but when combined with fresh meats and produce, you never have to have the same omelet twice.

Grab your largest skillet and let’s get to work!
