Here’s a simple and protein-packed recipe for a Carnivore Omelette using only animal-based ingredients. This omelette is rich and satisfying, making it perfect for anyone on a carnivore diet.
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp butter (preferably grass-fed)
- 2-3 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite type)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the eggs are fully combined and slightly frothy. The cream makes the omelette fluffier but can be omitted for strict carnivore.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
3. Cook the Omelette:
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes, gently moving the edges inward as the omelette begins to set.
4. Add Fillings:
- Once the bottom of the omelette is set but the top is still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheese and chopped bacon (or any other meat fillings like sausage or ham) over half of the omelette.
5. Fold and Finish:
- Gently fold the omelette in half, covering the fillings. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on top or around the omelette for extra richness, if desired.
6. Serve:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. You can top it with extra butter, cheese, or even bacon crumbles if you like.
Tips:
- Meat Options: Feel free to mix in cooked sausage, ham, or even ground beef for variety.
- Cheese Variations: Use any cheese you prefer, or skip the cheese entirely if you’re following a strict carnivore diet.
- Extra Fat: Adding more butter or using ghee can enhance the flavor and richness.
