Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh oysters
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Start by draining the fresh oysters and pat them dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add heavy cream. Whisk them together until well combined and fluffy.
Add coconut flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Whisk until all ingredients are incorporated smoothly.
Stir in the chopped green onions and mix gently.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Allow it to melt completely, covering the skillet surface.
Carefully place the oysters onto the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly golden.
Pour the egg mixture over the oysters in the skillet, ensuring even coverage.
Cook the omelette over medium-low heat until the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
Once the omelette is nearly cooked through but still a bit runny on top, fold it in half.
Continue cooking for another minute to ensure the center cooks through but remains tender.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an added zest.
