Ultimate Low Carb B.A.T. Omelet

69 ratings

There’s no time to mess around with breakfast! It’s the most important meal of the day, after all. That’s why this Keto omelet recipe is loaded with protein and healthy fats to get you energized for the day. It takes hardly any time to whip up this simple recipe. You can spend less time at the stove, and more time with your morning tea or coffee! Your fats come from slices of fresh avocado and some sour cream on the side of the meal. The protein comes from crispy bacon and eggs. Of course, no omelet is complete without some cheese as well. If you haven’t figured it out yet, B.A.T. stands for: bacon, avocado, and tomato!

Tips for the perfect omelet

Make sure your pan is evenly heated through before adding raw egg mixture. Watch to see how long it takes for one side to start cooking, and determine if you need to lower the heat. Once you flip the omelet, definitely reduce the heat to keep the final side from overcooking. If the inside is still too raw, briefly cover your pan with a lid to trap additional heat.

Bacon substitutions

If you don’t want to use pork products, try frying a slice of deli turkey or roast beef in a pan before you cook your omelet. If you like pork but are substituting the bacon, try strips of prosciutto or deli-sliced ham. You can make all sorts of protein substitutions to keep this popular easy Keto breakfast recipe interesting and in your meal rotation.

I want more to eat

If you’re still hungry, try to avoid carbohydrates. Add more to your Keto breakfast by including a fat bomb. This way, you’re being fueled by fat macros instead of sugar. You could also include ½-tablespoon of butter in your morning coffee.

Recipe Steps

steps 6

15 min

  • Step 1

    In a medium-sized skillet, cook the bacon to your liking over medium-high heat. However, crispy bacon is recommended. Set the cooked bacon aside for later, and drain the fat from the skillet.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Briefly wipe your pan clean with a paper towel, and return it to the stove. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and chili powder. You can omit the chili powder seasoning if you don’t like spicy flavors.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Heat the olive oil in the same skillet from Step 1 on medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Slice or shred your cheddar cheese, and immediately distribute it over the top of the raw egg.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Allow the omelet to cook completely on one side (about 2-3 minutes) at medium heat. Flip the omelet over and complete the cooking for another 1-2 minutes. You may want to reduce the heat at this point.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Transfer the cooked omelet to your serving plate. To assemble the omelet, line one side with the cooked bacon. Slice the avocado and the tomato, and arrange these on top of the bacon.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Fold the B.A.T. omelet shut. Serve with sour cream and chopped green onion. You may also serve with guacamole at your discretion.

    Delish! I used turkey bacon and 2 medium eggs. I will use this recipe again.

          Very good. The omelette is darker because of the bacon grease. The pan is just so hot. But other than that the egg is not over cooked.

            That is one over-cooked omelet! Omelets should be fluffy. Heat the oil in the pan (on medium-low heat), add whisked egg mixture. Using a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently lift the sides to allow the top egg to reach the bottom (watch a video if you don't understand the process). Do this around the pan. When most of the omelet top is dry, flip it if you like, or add the cheese and don't flip. I like adding the cheese to the egg mixture. This way it cooks along with the egg. Continue with the recipe as listed.

                      No need to flip the omelette. This one is over cooked. Just cook on lowest heat with a cover. Once it’s firm add cheese and ingredients on one side then fold in half. Cover so the cheese melts. Enjoy! :)

                                    This was awesome. Did not have with sour cream or tomato.... instead added a little more cheese and used heavy whipping cream instead of whole milk...

                                            I love this omelette. I would order it in a restaurant if they offered. I make no changes to the recipe. It’s excellent as is.

                                                  Can I use coconut cream for any keto meals?

                                                    Is this as a substitution for sour cream? Then yes! You can also use coconut oil for any cooking.

                                                  Very good. Just made this for the first time for late lunch. The cheese got too brown for my liking. Next time I'll grate it on after plating.

                                                    Can you substitute anything for the avocado and sour cream?

                                                      You could replace the sour cream with greek yogurt, although there is not a direct replacement for the avocado. If you omit these items, you may wish to increase your fat macros with cheese.
