Also called Omelette Soufflé, this is a mostly forgotten dish, halfway between an omelette and a soufflé. It can be served sweet or savoury depending on the garnish you use-—either fresh fruit and jam or a savoury sauce.
4 large free-range eggs, yolks and whites separated
1/2 tsp (2 mL) freshly grated lemon zest
1 Tbsp (15 mL) unsalted butter
Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
Using electric mixer, stand mixer, or whisk, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Beat egg yolks until light yellow and thickened. Stir in lemon zest; fold in beaten egg whites.
Heat 8 or 9 in (20 or 23 cm) ovenproof pan over medium heat; add butter. Pour in eggs and cook for 1 minute.
Place in oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until omelette is puffed and golden.
Remove from oven and carefully slide onto serving plate. Cut into 4 wedges and garnish with desired toppings. Serve immediately.

This vegan take on classic shepherd’s pie is jam-packed with bold and rich flavours that will ensure no one will miss the meat. While a great source of fibre, lentils also contain the highest amount of folate out of all plant-based foods. Oven ready If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you’ll need to transfer cooked lentil filling to a baking dish before topping with mashed sweet potatoes and baking.
Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why. Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
This gloriously comforting dish gets its creamy lusciousness from a can of white beans. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand instead of broccoli. Pass the pasta Instead of regular pasta, consider serving this sauce over zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, or cooked spaghetti squash.
This nut-free take on classic queso dip is everything you want and more. Paired with chips, crackers, or crudités, this creamy, zesty, smoky, and oh-so-satisfying dip is easy enough to whip up for a cozy snack or as an appetizer for company. Go nuts! If you’re okay to eat nuts, try substituting sunflower seeds with 1 cup (250 mL) raw cashews.
