Spinach, Onion, and Goat Cheese Omelette

Keto Recipes > Keto Breakfast Recipes

Eggs are one of my favorite ingredients to use. The versatility of them is astounding, from breakfast to lunch and dinner, and even dessert. There’s so many uses for these things, but sometimes we just have to keep it simple and let the delicious taste speak for itself.

Today, I thought that you guys might enjoy a delicious and simple omlette made of goats cheese, spinach, and onions. The goats cheese brings a fantastic tartness to the entire omelette, while the onions cut through that tartness to balance out the flavors with a sweet, delicious ending. The spring onions, while not necessary, bring a great tanginess and fresh feel to the entire dish, playing off the earthy flavors of the spinach. All together, each bite is a wonderful mixture of both textures (crunch, smooth, and cheesy) and flavors.

Give this one a try, mix up the different ingredients inside (hint: roasted tomato and pine nuts with goats cheese), and enjoy the delicious omelettes you can create! Remember that when cooking an omelette, you don’t want to mess around with it too much. Keeping the pan on a lower heat while doing this will allow for the bottom to cook through, while leaving the top a little runny. That will be great for when you close the omelette and all of the steam will cook the insides to perfection.
