For pesto: In a food processor (or blender**)add basil, kale, Brazil nuts, nutritional yeast, chives, lemon juice, and ⅛ tsp of salt. Pulse the ingredients until evenly ground. With the machine running, slowly add 1-2 tsp of water into the center and blend until smooth. Makes just enough for this recipe. **Note: If you don’t have a food processor, use a blender. You may need to add a a .drop or two of water or more and stop occasionally to push the contents off the side of the blender and remix.
Spritz olive oil to lightly cover an 8 inch pan and heat over medium heat. Once hot, add the sweet potatoes and sprinkle with a pinch of salt (about ⅛ tsp). Allow to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The potatoes should be browned and slightly softened.
Meanwhile, as the veggies are cooking, whisk the 4 eggs plus a splash of water and ⅛ tsp salt briskly for about 30 seconds in a bowl.
Once the potatoes are browned, add the cherry tomatoes and bell pepper with another pinch of salt (about ⅛ tsp) to the sweet potato and allow to cook for about 5 more minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Set aside in a bowl.
After removing veggies, reduce the heat to medium low and spritz the pan with the olive oil. Pour the eggs into the pan and swirl around to evenly distribute. Allow the eggs to cook slowly for about 2 minutes without stirring until the edges start to dry and the bottom starts to set.
Once the omelet starts to set, gently lift up the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan towards that side to help some of the uncooked runny egg go to the bottom. Cover the pan and slightly reduce the heat. Allow to cook about 2-4 minutes until the top is shiny, but no longer runny. Dollop the pesto on one half then sprinkle the same half with the sweet potatoes, tomatoes, bell pepper.
Loosen the edges of the side without any topping and carefully fold it over to cover the toppings. Because of the oil, this should be very easy.
Allow to cook 1 more minute, slice in half and serve immediately.
To round out the meal, serve with a small bowl of fresh fruit, a half cup of cooked oatmeal, or whole-wheat toast.
Notes
* Nutritional yeast (not to be confused with Brewer’s yeast) is deactivated yeast. It has a nutty/cheesy flavor so it makes as a great condiment to be sprinkled on food, and a perfect non-dairy cheese replacement.. It’s packed with B vitamins and other nutrients.
