Dr Jockers Comments:
Omelets not only taste amazing but are loaded with nutrition that builds a healthy brain. You should always look for organic and pasture raised eggs. The more grass and natural wildlife that the chickens consume the more omega 3 fatty acids they will have in their eggs.
The combination of healthy saturated fat, cholesterol, omega 3 fatty acids, choline, vitamin A & D and carotenoids (lutein & zeaxanthin) make organic pasture fed eggs one of the best brain building foods. Basil is an incredible herb with tons of antioxidants and garlic is loaded with sulfur compounds that help detoxify the body and destroy unwanted pathogens.
Be sure not to burn the eggs but cook them to your desire. I like to have them a little soft and runny which makes the proteins even more bioavailable. I recommend squeezing lemon and putting some apple cider vinegar on these eggs to help the body metabolize the protein more effectively and ease the stress on your digestive system.

This looks great, but … what can I substitute for the bell peppers?
We do not like each other. 🙂
Thanks
Hey Judy! Whatever you want, or just leave them out! Maybe onions?
this was delicious! I used the onions instead of the peppers which I am sensitive to.
