Keto Chorizo Omelette
"A rustic and hearty omelette that you can whip up for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. And at over 30g of fat per serving, this keto omelette definitely lives up to its name. The added baby spinach and cheddar help balance out the flavor, and they make this lovely omelette quite comforting too.If you want to reduce the fat and calories in this recipe, then replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt and the avocado with roasted asparagus."
NotesPreparation tips:
To avoid the bacon from splattering during frying, first add it to your skillet and then turn the heat on. Optionally, you
can bake the bacon in the oven, covered with parchment paper at 350 F for 15-20 minutes.
For a perfectly cooked omelette, use room-temperature eggs. Once you add the eggs to the hot skillet, gently push the lightly cooked edges of the omelette toward the center using a silicon spatula. When you do this, the uncooked upper part of the omelette reaches the surface of the skillet, while the cook part moves away from it. This helps cook the eggs more evenly.
