Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, diced onion
- 4 sliced mushrooms
- 100 grams, diced cooked ham
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms and diced ham to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes, until the mushrooms are browned and the ham is heated through. Remove the vegetable and ham mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, swirling the pan to ensure even coverage.
Cook the eggs without stirring for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set. Sprinkle the sautéed vegetable and ham mixture evenly over one half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula and cook for another minute or until the omelet is fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
