Low-Carb Omelet Baking Tips
If you have some doubts about this recipe or need guidance on how to make sure that you get the baked omelet right from the start, here are some tips that might help you:
- Choose the right baking pan. For this recipe, I chose a 7x12-inch pan. If you don't have a pan of this size, you can adjust the recipe ingredients for a smaller or larger baking pan. Use fewer eggs if you have a smaller one, and if your baking pan is larger than mine, simply add one or two more eggs into the omelet.
- Use a non-stick baking pan. Even if the baking pan that you own is a non-stick one, I still recommend adding some olive oil or any other oil to make sure that the omelet doesn't stick to the pan and rolls perfectly. If you worry that the omelet will stick to the pan, you can use parchment paper to ensure that everything goes as it should.
- Feel free to experiment with the fillings. You can use any type of keto-friendly cheese, various meats such as ham, ground beef, chicken, etc. You can also add more veggies such as spinach, mushrooms, olives, onions, bell pepper, or any other vegetable that you like.
- Spice things up. You can add almost any type of seasonings and spices to this omelet. If you want to add some heat to it, I'd recommend adding some Cayenne pepper.
Make It on a Frying Pan
If you feel that it would be easier for you to cook the omelet on a frying pan, you can definitely do it. However, it is best to have a non-stick rectangular pan instead of the usual round one. It will be much easier for you to roll it.
If you choose to cook the low-carb omelet on a frying pan, then mix the eggs in a bowl, add all of the necessary ingredients except for the mozzarella cheese, and start cooking.
- Heat some olive oil on the frying pan, add just enough omelet mixture to cover the bottom of the frying pan, and cook until it isn’t runny anymore. Add some of the shredded mozzarella cheese, then use a spatula to roll the omelet about two times and move it to one side of the pan.
- Add some more of that mixture so that it covers the bottom of the pan. Make sure that the newly added egg mixture goes under the cooked ground omelet so that the layers stick together. Sprinkle it with mozzarella cheese and roll the omelet. Repeat this step until you’ve used up all of the omelet mixture.
- Let the omelet roll cool down a bit before cutting and serving it.
