A filling, low-carb omelet stuffed with seasoned ground beef and melted cheese. Quick to make and great for any meal of the day. High in protein and fat, perfect for keto diets.
For the Filling:
½ pound ground beef (80/20)
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ small onion, chopped (optional)
Salt & black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Omelet:
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon heavy cream or water
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon butter or oil
Optional Toppings:
Green onions
Sour cream
Jalapeños
Avocado slices
Heat a skillet on medium. Add ground beef. Cook until brown.
Add garlic and onion. Cook 3–4 more minutes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder.
Turn off the heat. Mix in the shredded cheese. Set aside.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with cream or water and a pinch of salt.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat. Add butter or oil.
Pour in the eggs. Let them cook slowly. Lift the edges with a spatula to let raw egg run under.
When mostly cooked, place the beef mixture on one half of the omelet.
Fold the omelet over the filling. Let sit for 30 seconds so the cheese melts.
Slide onto a plate. Add toppings if you want. Serve hot.
Use pre-cooked beef to save time.
Mozzarella or pepper jack also work well.
Store leftover filling in fridge for up to 4 days.
You can double the eggs for a bigger omelet or split into 2 smaller ones.
