Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 0.25 cup cooked bacon or ham
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh spinach
Instructions
Crack 3 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the eggs are fully beaten.
Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pulling the cooked edges toward the center and allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
When the eggs are mostly set with a slightly soft center, sprinkle 0.5 cup of grated cheese, 0.25 cup of cooked bacon or ham, and 0.25 cup of chopped fresh spinach over one half of the omelette.
Use the spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the fillings. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully cooked.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. Enjoy your low carb classic omelette!
