About the Recipe
Start your morning bright with this fluffy, flavorful omelet filled with aromatic fresh herbs and tangy goat cheese. Cooked gently in olive oil, this low-carb breakfast is easy enough for beginners but tastes like it came straight from a Mediterranean café.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (can substitute basil or chives)
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (optional, but highly recommended)
2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled (feta is also a good alternative)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preparation
Whisk Eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add chopped herbs, and whisk gently to combine. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Cook Omelet:
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour egg mixture into the skillet, swirling gently to cover the bottom evenly.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes until eggs are almost set but slightly runny on top.
Cooking Tip: Cook your omelet slowly over medium-low heat for fluffy texture without browning the eggs.
Add Goat Cheese: Sprinkle goat cheese evenly over half the omelet.
Fold and Serve: Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the cheese-filled half. Cook another 30 seconds to gently warm cheese. Slide omelet onto a plate.
Low-Carb Flavor Boost Options:
Fresh Lemon Zest: Add freshly grated lemon zest to eggs for brightness.
Spicy Kick: Sprinkle with a pinch of red chili flakes or hot paprika for mild heat.
Avocado: Serve omelet alongside fresh avocado slices for extra healthy fats.
Greek Yogurt Tzatziki: Add a dollop of homemade full-fat Greek yogurt tzatziki on the side for creamy, low-carb freshness.
