5 minutes preparation | 8 minutes cooking time: Easy
Ingredients
Omelet
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- salt and ground black pepper
- ½ tbsp butter or coconut oil
- 3 oz. (¾ cup) shredded cheese
Filling
- 2 mushrooms, sliced
- 2 (1¼ oz.) cherry tomatoes, sliced
- ½ cup (½ oz.) baby spinach
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
- 1 oz. deli turkey
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
-
Whisk together eggs and cream in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Heat the butter over medium heat in a non-stick frying pan. Spread out the cheese in an even layer in the pan, so it covers the entire bottom. Fry on medium heat until bubbly.
-
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese and lower the heat. Cook for a few minutes without stirring.
-
Fill one half with mushrooms, tomatoes, baby spinach, cream cheese, turkey and oregano. Fry for a few minutes more.
-
When the egg mixture starts to set (it can still be quite loose on top, but not too loose), turn the empty half over the topping side, forming a crescent. Fry for a few more minutes and enjoy!
Tip!
There are an infinite number of ways to vary the filling, here are a few suggestions:
- mozzarella and pesto
- taco mince and avocado
- smoked salmon, cream cheese and baby spinach
- tuna, mayonnaise and scallions
