A flavorful and colorful treat packed full of protein is a tomato and spinach omelet. You will need some cherry tomatoes halved, a scallion sliced, baby spinach, and an egg. Cook your tomatoes and scallion until soft and then add the baby spinach and cover for thirty seconds. Afterwards, mix the vegetables up and add your egg and cook, stirring constantly. When your omelet is done, sprinkle with some cheese, cover so the cheese melts, then fold in half and serve.

Burrito lovers would enjoy a quick scrambled egg burrito in the morning.
