Keto Spinach and Feta Omelet

Jazz up that Keto Breakfast

We’re cooking a Keto spinach and feta omelet.  For me eggs are a staple, a favourite and I can have them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Though if I am being honest it’s more often breakfast and while I do love my scrambled eggs, masala omelet and fried eggs, I do like to jazz up my breakfast  every so often. And today I’m going to be using the classic combination of spinach and feta. Of course I’m going to take it to the next level with some bacon. Because everything is better with bacon.

Anyway you can always skip the bacon but I do hope you give this recipe a try. You can also double or triple it and turn it into a frittata or even egg muffin cups. Great for Keto meal prep.

The bacon is optional

Like I mentioned in the video, if you skip the bacon just start with some avocado oil, butter, ghee or lard in the pan and cook the eggs. You can use almost any cheese that you like in place of feta, they are all fine. If you don’t like spinach you can use mushrooms, bell peppers or any vegetable really. The idea is to get a good balance of things. You can also use turkey bacon though that won’t have any fat so you’ll need something to fry it in. You could also use some ground meat as well in the omelet.

This recipe is part of my Keto for Beginners series. It is in episode 2 and you can check out the full meal plan. It’s also a great stand alone dish.

This recipe makes 2 servings. Get this recipe on myfitnesspal. Please note, these macros EXCLUDE the bacon. You can add the bacon macros as a separate entry based on what bacon you use and how much of it you use. This also doesn’t include the 1 tbsp avocado oil if you skip the bacon you can add that too. Now I also made this 2 servings because honestly at 520 calories without the bacon I just felt it was too many calories for a single meal. So please eat and adjust according to your own macros and size.
