Key ingredients and substitutions: 

  • Eggs – the key to any great omelette are the eggs! Full of healthy protein I personally recommend using free range large eggs if possible.
  • Spinach – to add a beautiful green color and increase the nutritional value of this omelette recipe. 
  • Tomato – I love adding tomato to omelettes to get some more vitamins and minerals and add a beautiful red color. 
  • Cooked chicken – any type of cooked chicken will do including cooked chicken breasts or thighs. You could swap this for cooked turkey as well. 
  • Mozzarella cheese – what is better than melted cheese? If you are lactose intolerant simply leave this out of the recipe. You could also swap this for any type of cheese you prefer. 
  • Salt and pepper – simple spices complete this omelette recipe. 

How to make this recipe: 

Step one:

First, in a bowl, whisk the eggs until they are smooth.

Step two:

Next, place a large pan on the stove on low heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is melted, pour the eggs into the pan. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper and let them cook for a few minutes until the edges are starting to brown.

Step three:

Now add the cut chicken, cheese, tomato and spinach to half of the omelette and allow it to cook for a few more minutes.

Step four:

Lastly, use a spatula to fold the omelette in half and cook it for a few more minutes, until the omelette is golden and cooked through.

  • To lower the carbohydrate count even more: omit the tomatoes.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms or peppers.
  • Feel free to use whatever type of cheese you like to make this omelette.
