Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon or ham
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and slightly sizzling, pour in the egg mixture.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, or until the edges begin to set.
- Gently push the cooked edges towards the center of the skillet with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped bacon or ham evenly over the top of the eggs.
- Fold the omelet in half using your spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Tips
- Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be creamy and moist.
- Use a good quality non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
- Feel free to add other keto-friendly ingredients like spinach, mushrooms, or avocado.
- Ensure your bacon or ham is fully cooked before adding it to the omelet.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve immediately with a side of sliced avocado.
- Pair with a small green salad for a more substantial meal.
- Enjoy with a cup of black coffee or unsweetened tea.
Storage Tips
Leftover keto omelets can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
