Omelette

I could eat an omelette every day.

So many ingredients in an omelette is probably very insulting to the french because they like their omelettes with just one or two ingredients. I distinctly remember the disapproving look I received in a Parisian cafe when I ordered a mushroom, onion, ham and cheese omelette.

Omelette’s are a great breakfast, lunch, or even dinner, especially if eating low carb/ keto because the simple omelette is 2.5g net carbs.

Feel free to add your favourites fillings and as many as you like (wink!).

INGREDIENTS

1 teaspoon butter

2 – 3 whole eggs, beaten

50g grated cheese

Salt & pepper

METHOD

Heat a small frypan on medium heat and add the butter to melt.

Beat the eggs

Pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan, use a wooden spoon to gently scramble the eggs so that they stay covering the bottom of the pan but this way they cook a little faster.

Add the cheese and other fillings to half the omelette.

Put a lid on (if you have one) for about 1 – 2 minutes to cook the top and melt the cheese, otherwise turn the heat down and cook till not runny.

Use a spatula to flip the empty side over the filled side and slide out onto a plate.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Note: I prefer to pre-cook my fillings like onions, mushrooms, spinach and chorizo or bacon if using.
