There are hundreds of different takes on how to prepare omelettes, from the simple and classic Western to the most complex creations you can think of. However, these particular omelette recipes were selected for a couple of reasons. First, they feature a wide range of healthy and low carb ingredients. Second, they are simple to prepare, and don’t take a lot of time to get them on the table. So, with that said, let’s start exploring this list of 5 exciting omelette recipes you can try!
Chicken Omelette with Sautéed Mushrooms
Even though the most common meat to include in an omelette is some sort of ham or bacon, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other proteins you can include to change things up. This amazing recipe uses savoury sautéed chicken and mushrooms, and a handful of other fresh ingredients as the filling for the omelette, and the results are simply scrumptious!

Although the recipe calls this a ‘dinner’ omelette, we’d wager that it would work perfect for a fancy lunch, too. It’s important to be careful with the amount quinoa in this recipe, since too much can easily add to the carb count.
