Ingredient Overview: What You’ll Need

The fluffy base of your omelette. Rich in vitamins, protein, and healthy cholesterol.

Avocado (½ small)
Mashed or sliced, avocado adds creaminess, fiber, and a dose of potassium—perfect for keto balance.

How to Make a Keto Avocado and Bacon Stuffed Omelette
1. Cook the Bacon
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy.
-
Transfer to paper towels to drain, then chop or crumble.
2. Prepare the Eggs
-
In a bowl, whisk 2–3 large eggs with 1 tbsp heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
-
Beat until slightly frothy for a fluffy omelette.
3. Heat the Skillet
-
Add 1 tbsp butter to a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
-
Once melted and foamy, pour in the egg mixture.
-
Swirl the pan to distribute evenly.
4. Cook the Eggs
-
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 20–30 seconds.
-
Gently push the edges toward the center with a spatula, letting uncooked egg flow to the sides.
-
Continue until the top is just slightly wet.
5. Add Fillings
On one half of the omelette, layer:
-
¼ cup shredded cheese (if using)
-
Crumbled bacon
-
Sliced or mashed avocado
Let sit for 20 seconds so the cheese melts slightly.
6. Fold & Finish
-
Carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings.
-
Cook another 30–60 seconds until the center is warm and cheese is melted.
7. Plate and Serve
Slide onto a plate and garnish with:
-
Chopped chives
-
Cracked pepper
-
Optional: sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce
