Carnivore Omelet
A hearty, meat-packed omelet loaded with ground beef, diced ham, and melted cheddar cheese. It delivers a massive dose of protein to start the day right and keeps you full for hours. Perfect for a quick, satisfying breakfast, this dish combines savory, salty meats with rich, creamy eggs cooked in butter. The quick cooking method ensures the eggs stay tender while the cheese melts perfectly over the warm fillings.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or tallow ( here )
- 4 ounces ground beef
- 1 ounce ham, cubed
- 1 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded (about ¼ cup)
- 1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the water and ⅛ teaspoon of the salt and whisk with a fork.
Instructions
- 1Place a small skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the hot pan and add the ground beef.
- 2Brown the meat for about 3 minutes, using a spatula to break it into small crumbles until no pink remains. Season with half of the salt.
- 3Lower the heat to medium-low. Whisk the eggs with the water and remaining salt in a small bowl, then pour the mixture directly over the cooked beef.
- 4Stir the eggs gently for a few seconds to create soft curds. Tilt the pan in a circular motion so the uncooked egg flows to the edges and forms an even, round layer.
- 5Let the omelet cook undisturbed for about 1 minute. The bottom will become firm while the top remains slightly soft and wet.
- 6Take the skillet off the heat. Scatter the cubed ham and shredded cheddar cheese down the middle of the eggs. Fold one half of the omelet over the filling and slide it onto a warm plate.
