Another day of my keto diet, in search for another recipe. I am a non-vegetarian but my mother being an eggitarian, no non-veg item is allowed at home. Thus the major source of high-protein low-carbs is “egg”.

I also wanted some vegetables to be in my dinner along with eggs. The best solution which I could think of was making an omelette with vegetable stuffing. I took a few keto vegetables available with me - broccoli, green capsicum, green chilli and onion (optional). I also used cheese, which had 2 purposes. First being to seal the first semi circular omelette perimeter with the other semi circular omelette perimeter, creating a quesadilla-like shape. The second being taste.

I used 3 eggs to create two stuffed omelettes. Thus 1 stuffed omelette is equal to 1 serving.

Steps

1

Put 1 tbsp olive oil on a non stick pan and transfer all the vegetables to the pan and let stir-fry them for 2 minutes. Add salt for taste if required. Transfer and divide the stir-fried vegetables into two parts, one for stuffing of each omelette.
2

Crack 3 eggs in a bowl and whisk them. Add salt and pepper according to taste and whisk. Add 1 part of grated cheddar cheese to the egg and whisk.
3

Pour 1 tbsp olive oil to the frying pan and transfer one half of the egg content into the frying pan. Fry the eggs like a normal omelette.
4

Add one part of the fried vegetables on the omelette and spread it evenly on one semi-circle of the omelette. Add one part of grated cheddar cheese, first on the perimeter of the semi-circle of the omelette, then on top of the vegetables. Roll the other semi-circle on top of the one with vegetables. Press gently on the edges so as the two sides stick with cheese. Cook from both the sides of the stuffed omelette.
5

After one omelette is made, repeat step 3 & 4 for the remaining part of the omelette.
6

Serve the two omelettes hot. If needed, you can top it up with more cheese.
