Salmon and Asparagus Omelette

Salmon and Asparagus Omelette

A light breakfast can be an easy decision but sometimes tricky especially when you are seeking a healthy option. Applying the keto diet rules can help narrow down your options, and the omelette is a great vehicle for this. You can stuff or top it with vegetables, healthy fats like avocado, and protein like fish and poultry. This omelette is decked out with herbs and a dollop of coconut cream with a side of avocado, totally guilt-free and should give you a great energy boost. You can also make it if you feel hungry later on in the day.

Recipe: Beat 2 eggs with a tablespoon of coconut cream or sour cream, season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs in a non-stick pan until most of the egg liquid is firm, topping with bits of cheese and 1/8 cup asparagus tips, then add 1/8 cup shredded salmon on one side (the side you are going to fold over). Fold and cook for another 1-2 minutes, top with fresh thyme and cilantro.
