Green Egg Keto Omelet {Gluten-Free}
This recipe is a different take on the classic omelet. Instead of sautéing the greens, blend them with the eggs to get a green consistency throughout. The texture of the omelet is slightly different, but in a good way. Plus, the nutrients in the vegetables hold up better when cooked this way, as they are not destroyed by the direct heat of the pan.
Prepare this keto-friendly meal any time of the day to get a healthy serving of greens. The recipe makes one large serving, but it can easily be split into two.
