Ingredients
  

  • 2 large organic eggs
  • 1 slice bacon, cooked until crispy
  • 1/4 cup (25 g / 0.88 oz) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp (30 g / 1.06 oz) ghee, coconut oil, or unsalted butter
  • 1/2 small avocado, sliced
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) finely chopped fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For the creamiest texture, remove the omelet from the heat when the top is still slightly glossy and wet; the residual heat will finish cooking it to perfection on the plate.
  • A good quality non-stick skillet is essential for ensuring your omelet slides out easily without tearing.
  • Feel free to add a handful of fresh spinach or sautéed mushrooms to the egg mixture for extra nutrients and flavor.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, optional fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the ghee, coconut oil, or butter.
  4. Once the fat is melted and shimmering, pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan.
  5. Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds, then use a spatula to gently push the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to fill the space.
  6. Continue this for another 30-45 seconds until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly soft on top.
  7. Fold the omelet in half, slide it onto a plate, and immediately top with crumbled crispy bacon.
  8. Serve alongside the fresh avocado slices.
  9. Grate your Parmesan from a block. Pre-shredded cheeses often contain anti-caking agents that can prevent them from melting smoothly.
