Keto Friendly Ham and Cheddar Omelet

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup diced ham
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

Start by cracking the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the unsweetened almond milk, salt, and black pepper. Using a fork or whisk, gently beat the eggs until they are well combined and a uniform yellow.

Step 2: Cook the Ham

In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced ham and sauté it for about 2 minutes, or until it is slightly browned and heated through. Remove the ham from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3: Cook the Omelet

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt over medium low heat. Once the butter is fully melted and starts to lightly foam, pour in the egg mixture. Allow the eggs to start setting on the bottom of the pan.

Using a spatula, gently stir the edges of the omelet, allowing any uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the skillet. Cook until the bottom of the omelet is set and the top is slightly runny, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Fillings

Evenly distribute the cooked ham over one side of the omelet and follow up with half of the cheddar cheese. Reserve the remaining cheese for the topping.

Step 5: Fold and Finish the Omelet

Using your spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the side with the fillings. Allow it to cook for an additional minute to ensure the cheese begins to melt. Optional: Cover the skillet with a lid to expedite the melting process.

Step 6: Plate the Omelet

Gently slide the omelet onto a plate. Sprinkle the top with the reserved shredded cheddar cheese and optional chives for a touch of color and freshness.

Step 7: Serve

Serve your delicious keto-friendly ham and cheddar omelet immediately while it’s warm.
