Just because a recipe is simple doesn’t mean it’s not good for you! Our herb and camembert omelette roll are nutritious AND easy to make.
Our recipe begins with eggs, which are a perfect source of protein. They also contain a wide range of other nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, and B12, antioxidants, and choline.
According to one study, the antioxidants found in eggs may help prevent cancer and heart disease (1). Specifically, researchers determined that egg proteins are converted into special peptides in the stomach and small intestines that act similarly to ACE inhibitors, which are prescription drugs that lower blood pressure.
Researchers found that eggs lose some of their antioxidant power when you cook them. In their raw form, eggs contain almost twice as many antioxidants as an apple and about the same amount as a 25 gram serving of cranberries (2).
Frying or boiling your eggs reduces the antioxidant properties by about half and cooking them in the microwave reduces them by more than half. However, even if their reduced state, cooked eggs contain as many nutrients as an apple (3).
When mixed with the components found in the herbs (vitamins A, C, and K, fiber, folate, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, choline, thymol, rosmarinic and ursolic acids), our omelette may be described as one of the most powerful disease-fighting foods.
The camembert contributes more protein to this dish. It also contains calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-12, selenium, vitamin A, zinc, folate, and vitamin B-6.
The heavy cream and butter in this dish ensure that you are absorbing all of these healthy nutrients, especially the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as antioxidant carotenoids and flavonoids!Â
