For a Keto or Low carb diet the best 3 ingredients are in this Keto Spinach & Bacon Omelette! Eggs, bacon and avocado. And, we all know that ketogenic dieters LOVE eggs, bacon and avocados! When I first began my keto journey I ate so many eggs AND bacon AND avocados that I did burn myself out on them, LOL. AND, at first I gained weight, because I ate TOO MUCH bacon, LOL. I’m not sure if all keto dieters do this, but I have to watch my calorie intake too. Because, at first I ate way too many calories! LOL, and at 4’11” I have to watch more than carbohydrate intake.

This recipe is made quicker than most, because I chose to add already chopped bell peppers and onions. I LOVE the convenience of chopped frozen veggies! Plus, I added real bacon bits to this omelette. These two (2) steps are time saving for those mornings or evenings when you don’t have extra time to cook.

What is the Keto Diet?

The ketogenic diet focuses on high fat, low carb foods like eggs, meats, dairy, and low carb vegetables. Also, it consists of food that are sugar free and gluten free. A lot of individuals believe it is just a lot of protein, like a lot of bacon, but it is more than just eating a lot of bacon. It is limiting carb consumption to around 20 to 50 grams per day and filling up on fats, such as meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and healthy oils.

Keto Spinach & Bacon Omelette Ingredients (scroll down for full recipe)

eggs
bell peppers
onions
spinach
bacon bits
shredded cheese
butter
salt & pepper
avocado (optional)

1. Add eggs to a bowl and beat well (scroll down for printable version)

2. Melt butter in a medium size pan over medium heat.

3. I like to saute my peppers and onions, but this step is optional.

4. Pour eggs into pan. Next, sprinkle in all other ingredients

The above step takes a few minutes. You will cook until the omelette is almost cooked through to the top. Once the edges can be lifted up I take a spatula and flip over.

Then, You will need to cook for a few more minutes until the egg is completely cooked in the middle. To check the egg I lift up the top part of the omelette around the edges and you should be able to tell if the egg is done.
