A perfect omelet filled with cheese, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Mmmmmm…sounds so good! It also can become your go-to post-workout meal because of simplicity and loads of proteins!
I am a big fan of omelets. When I don’t know what to cook or I feel lazy, or I just finished working out, and I want real food…not a protein shake, I make myself an omelet. But it took time for me to create the one that I will fall in love with. SO, let me introduce you THE perfect keto omelet! What’s so special about it? Well, apart from that it looks like a quesadilla, it tastes heavenly delicious. I believe it’s because it has quite a bit of cheese inside;) And of course, mushrooms and tomatoes complete the picture. But let’s talk eggs over here!
What’s up with eggs? Pasture-raised eggs are amazing! They are nutrient-dense food! Eggs contain carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin) which are essential for your eyes, they are high in omega-3, choline, vitamin D, E, A, and much more. In fact, eggs are part of Dietary Guidelines 2015-2020.
Either way, if you’re going after nutrition or after taste, this omelet will cover it all.
HERE HOW YOU COOK A PERFECT OMELET WITH MUSHROOM AND CHEESE:
First, you need to crack 2 large eggs into a bowl and beat them thoroughly with a fork. Season with pepper and salt, and set aside.
Then, heat a non-stick 10 inches skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the champignons with cherry tomatoes, season with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cooked vegetables from the skillet, place them into a bowl, add shredded cheese, and mix it all together. Set aside.
Pour the beaten eggs mixture into the same skillet allowing them to cover the entire bottom, creating a round egg crepe. Let it cook for about 1 minute.
Spread the veggies and cheese blend on half of the egg crepe and then fold in half. (It might be a tricky process! The egg crepe is pretty thin so you need to work fast or use two spatulas to fold it without breaking it.) Cook it for 2 more minutes then carefully flip it and cook it one more minute.
Serve our delicious keto omelet on a plate with chopped green onion, sriracha, and sour cream if desired.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH KETO OMELET?
Before I started eating keto, I always enjoyed my omelet with some freshly toasted bread. But, I don’t really miss it, because I have this KETO GRILLED CHEESE sandwich recipe and I hope you’ll find it appetizing too!

NOTES:
- I don’t like mushrooms or tomatoes, what should I do? This dish is so versatile, only your imagination is the limit! You can use onions, bell peppers, zucchini, spinach…you name it, to replace mushrooms and/or tomatoes.
- I am lactose intolerant! Many people with lactose intolerance can eat certain cheeses so you know better what cheese you can or can not eat. But if you are not sure, there are plenty of vegan options out there! Experiment a little bit to find the one that you like.
