Leftover Grilled Vegetable Omelette with Pesto Sauce and Feta Cheese is a magically flavorful and filling healthy breakfast recipe.
Leftovers!
How do you feel about them?
Not everyone can handle the leftover.
It takes a special human to eat the same meal several meals in a row.
Me? I’ve never had a problem with leftovers – in fact, I LOVE them.
Probably because I have an obsessive personality, so when I taste something I enjoy, I want it over and over and over and over and
over.
again.
BUT, coming from a mom who wouldn’t touch a leftover with a ten-foot pole, I get how it’s not everyone’s bag to put meals on repeat.
Which is why we can do more than just reheat leftovers by re-purposing them in something new…maybe something we haven’t even heard of yet (<- Old School reference, FTW).
Point is, I’d like to believe there can be a leftover lover in all of us, and that maybe all we need are some ideas for leftover makeovers.
I used the Grilled Sweet Potatoes, Zucchini, and Yellow Squash with Pesto and Feta I showed you yesterday in this here grilled vegetable omelette.
While I kept the flavor profile of my leftovers and my omelette the same (both were served with pesto and feta), you can easily make the meal bare no resemblance to the original by adding various sauces/salsas/hot sauce/guacamole/hummus/other fresh ingredients, etc.
So here’s one method of using your leftover grilled veggies so that they don’t go to waste. Omeletify them! You can adjust the amount of eggs and vegetables based on how hungry you are.
