The Keto Mushroom Swiss Omelet is simple and delicious. Make this omelet with eggs, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, parsley, and butter. Season this omelet with salt & pepper. You can get these simple ingredients from any keto household. This Swiss omelet has lots of protein and healthy fats because of cheese and mushrooms. This omelet is perfect for keto, and it’s filling as well. We add brown sautéed mushrooms to add the umami taste, and Swiss cheese adds the luscious and velvety taste. This Keto Mushroom Swiss Omelet is very fluffy because of the addition of heavy cream. We can store this omelet in the fridge, but avoid storing it in the freezer as it ruins the egg’s texture.

INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGGS:

  • Eggs are a basic and necessary ingredient to make this omelet. They provide the proteins and healthy fats. It should be fresh and large to give the best results.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • We add the heavy cream to the egg mixture to make a fluffy and rich omelet. It also boosts the amount of fats in the omelet; you can omit the heavy cream if you want to prepare a light omelet.

MUSHROOMS:

  • Mushrooms provide an earthy and savory taste in the omelet. They have lots of antioxidants and fiber content, which helps to keep the carbs low.

BUTTER:

  • We use butter to prevent the stickiness of the omelet in the pan, but it also adds healthy fats to the omelet. You can also use ghee or coconut oil if you have a dairy allergy.

SWISS CHEESE:

  • We use Swiss cheese in this omelet as it melts, and it also adds a slight sweet and nutty flavor. This Swiss cheese contains fewer carbs than any other cheese.

SALT & PEPPER:

  • We season this omelet with salt & black pepper to add the flavor to the mushrooms and cheese in this omelet. We have to use a small amount of salt, as the Swiss cheese already contains some salt content.

PARSLEY:

  • We use parsley to garnish this omelet. It also adds freshness and color, making the omelet indulgent.
