Description

Imagine a fluffy, golden omelet, its surface glistening with melted cheddar cheese. This isn't just breakfast; it's a satisfying and delicious meal that works any time of day. The foundation is a generous portion of beaten eggs, cooked to a perfect tenderness that yields with each bite.

Woven throughout are savory pieces of crispy bacon, adding a smoky depth and delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft eggs and cheese. Adding a touch of garden freshness are tender green beans, carefully prepared to retain their vibrant color and a slight, pleasing bite. Blanching them beforehand ensures they're perfectly cooked, complementing rather than competing with the other flavors.

These green beans offer a subtle sweetness and an earthy note that elevates the entire dish. The seasoning is simple yet effective: a classic blend of salt and pepper, enhanced by a whisper of garlic powder. This understated approach allows the inherent flavors of the eggs, cheese, bacon, and green beans to shine through, creating a harmonious and balanced taste experience.

Whether enjoyed hot, fresh off the pan, or allowed to cool slightly, this omelet is a versatile delight. Its rich flavor and satisfying texture make it a complete meal in itself. For those seeking a lighter accompaniment, consider serving it alongside a fresh garden salad, a tangy slaw, or a portion of buttered broccoli.

Each bite is a celebration of simple ingredients, expertly combined to create a truly memorable dish. This omelet is a wonderful way to enjoy a protein-packed, flavorful, and endlessly adaptable meal.

Instructions

    1.
    Roughly chop the green beans into 2-inch pieces. Add them to a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1-2 minutes until fork-tender. Drain completely and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat them dry and set aside.
    2.
    Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Once the bacon is cool enough to handle, roughly chop it into small chunks and set aside to cool completely.
    3.
    Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to your liking. Beat well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
    4.
    Add the grated cheese, blanched green beans, and chopped bacon to the beaten eggs. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
    5.
    Pour the egg mixture into the skillet used to cook the bacon, setting it over medium heat. Allow the omelet to settle and begin cooking. Once the edges look set, use a spatula to gently lift the cooked egg, allowing any uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking until no liquid egg remains. Serve hot with your preferred keto-friendly sides.
