Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, diced onion
- 4 sliced mushrooms
- 100 grams, diced cooked ham
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to soften.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms and diced ham to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes, until the mushrooms are browned and the ham is heated through. Remove the vegetable and ham mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, swirling the pan to ensure even coverage.
Step 5
Cook the eggs without stirring for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set. Sprinkle the sautéed vegetable and ham mixture evenly over one half of the omelet.
Step 6
Carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula and cook for another minute or until the omelet is fully set.
Step 7
Slide the omelet onto a serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
