Summary: These open omelette rolls were inspired by Vietnamese bank khoai, which are pancakes made with rice flour, soda water and turmeric, and filled with a variety of fillings usually including eggs, and other non vegetarian fillings.
To make them more protein based than carbs based, I leave out the rice flour altogether and beat the eggs like for an omelette, with some turmeric. To make them more similar to the traditional Vietnamese pancakes, just add a little rice flour. I serve them on a salad leaf, filled with cooked onions and protein-rich portobello mushrooms, cucumber and lots of fresh coriander.
Serves 4 as a starter or a snack, or 2 as a main.
Great with kids, as they enjoy assembling their own. Would also work a treat in a lunchbox or for a picnic, if you pack the salad, the omelette and the fillings separately until ready to eat.

Summary: Perfect breakfast or brunch food, frittatas are the Italian cousins of Spanish Tortillas. Basically an omelette filled with various ingredients, barely cooked on the hob, then put in the oven to set through. Frittatas are great hot or cold, for breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack or dinner, served with a fresh salad and a slice of sourdough bread.
As a general guideline, stir fry some onions, add chopped vegetables, herbs, cheese. Add beaten eggs. Transfer to the oven to finish cooking.
Variations are endless. This one combines red onion, chopped red chilli, cherry tomatoes, spinach and feta cheese.
