    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.

    Variations and add ins:

    • To make it dairy free, paleo or Whole30 compliant: omit the cheese from the recipe.
    • 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.
    • I love adding sliced black olives to this omelette!
    • You could eat this omelette as is, or add different toppings including sliced avocado, guacamole or salsa.

    How to serve:

    This omelette is delicious served as is but you could also top it with salsa, ketchup or hot sauce. It's also pairs well with toast, roasted potatoes, hash browns, bacon or sausages.
