Keto Bacon & Mushroom Omelette Recipe – Simple Meal
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish fresh herbs
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and frothy. Set aside.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the bacon is cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms to the bacon fat. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender and browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lower the heat to medium and pour the whisked egg mixture over the sautéed mushrooms. Gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
- After about 2-3 minutes, sprinkle the crispy bacon over half of the omelette, followed by the shredded cheese.
- When the eggs are just set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the omelette in half to cover the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked but not dry.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
