Sausage and Cheese Omelette
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 sausages, cooked and crumbled (choose a keto-friendly variety)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, avocado slices
Instructions:
- Prep Ingredients:
- Cook the sausages according to package instructions, then crumble or chop them into small pieces. Shred the cheddar cheese and prepare any optional toppings.
- Whisk Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or cooking oil. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Pour in Eggs:
- Pour the whisked eggs into the preheated skillet, ensuring they spread out evenly over the pan.
- Cook the Base:
- As the edges of the eggs start to set, use a spatula to lift them slightly, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Continue this process until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
- Add Sausage and Cheese:
- Sprinkle the crumbled sausage and shredded cheddar cheese over one-half of the omelette.
- Fold the Omelette:
- Once the cheese begins to melt, carefully fold the omelette in half using the spatula. This creates a semi-circle shape, enclosing the sausage and cheese filling.
- Cook and Melt:
- Allow the omelette to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the cheese is fully melted and the omelette is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Slide onto Plate:
- Slide the sausage and cheese omelette onto a plate, using the spatula to assist if needed.
- Add Toppings (Optional):
- Garnish your omelette with optional toppings like diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, or avocado slices.
- Serve Warm:
- Serve the sausage and cheese omelette immediately while it’s hot and the cheese is gooey.
Enjoy your hearty and flavorful sausage and cheese omelette as a satisfying keto-friendly breakfast or brunch!
