Whether you are on the KETO diet or just watching your carb intake this omelette delivers in taste and not in the waist! Ha ok that was annoying but you get the point!
I’ve said it before, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day… well brunch rather since is happens around noon and mimosas are involved. But hey we are getting off topic here I love to have smoothies most of the week but sometimes I crave a delicious omelette but one that will keep in the guidelines of my diet and quick! This recipe delivers just that, plus its so easy and you can literally add anything you care to it.
Here I will show you a very simple way to get a perfect omelette in under 15 minutes. This makes one large omelette that I usually split with the hubby as it is filling but by all means do you.
Lets get started!
INGREDIENTS:
- 5 large eggs
- handful of fresh spinach, ripped into pieces
- 1/4 cup cheddar/mozz cheese blend (or any cheese you want) shredded
- 2 tbsp onion, diced
- 2 pieces of honey ham lunchmeat, thinly sliced (or any meat you want, or none at all)
- 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 1/4 cup of salsa
- salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
In a skillet on medium heat add the oil and onions. Let the onions cook for few minutes until they start to turn translucent and brown slightly.
Meanwhile whisk the eggs in a small bowl. You can add cream or milk if you would like. Add the eggs into the pan and let them start to cook covering the whole pan. Give it a good swirl to get the egg mixture to the outsides of the pan for a even cook.
Go ahead and season the eggs with salt and pepper ( other seasonings if you please, again this is my quick version)
When the eggs begin to bubble add the ham to one side of the eggs.
Next the spinach…
Next is half of the cheese…
Cook for a couple minutes more and then its time for the big flip.
Take a rubber spatula and run it along the very edge of the omelette all the way around the pan. After you have loosened it up take the empty side and slip the spatula underneath and flip on top of the other side.
Go ahead and give a little squish on top with the spatula to get the uncooked egg out and then put a lid on the pan. Cook for about 3-4 more minutes.
Slide the egg onto a plate and top with the remaing cheese, salsa, and even some fresh avocado if you have it.
I hope this guide was easy to and helps you create a simple, quick, and healthy breakfast!
ENJOY!
