Notes

  • A full 45 to 60 seconds of whisking incorporates air, which helps the omelet bake up fluffy instead of dense and custardy.
Serve: Pair with avocado slices, roasted vegetables, regular or low-carb biscuits or fruit salad.
Store: Keep cooled, sliced portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or wrap individually and freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8 minutes after thawing frozen slices overnight in the fridge.
