If cooking makes you think of a messy kitchen, stress, and strange recipes that start with “prepare your sous vide,” don’t worry – today we’re keeping it totally simple. I’ll show you a keto breakfast you can make with your eyes closed and eat with a smile. No unnecessary fuss – just an omelette, cheese, spinach, and smoked salmon. Let’s go!
For me, the kitchen is a place without stress or pressure – and a good breakfast is the best way to start your day, even if you don’t feel like cooking. Try this and see how easy it can be!
Ingredients:
- 2–3 eggs
- 30 g of cheese (cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella are great)
- 1 handful of fresh spinach (frozen works too, just squeeze out excess water)
- 40–50 g smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon of clarified butter (or coconut oil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of garlic powder, chopped chives, or dill
Instructions:
- Beat the eggs lightly with a fork – no need for a lot of air. Add salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs if you like.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan (medium heat). Don’t let it burn – just melt it gently.
- Add the spinach and sauté for a minute or two, until it softens. If you’re using frozen spinach, squeeze out the water first.
- Pour the eggs into the pan and tilt the pan so the mixture spreads evenly.
- Sprinkle grated cheese on top right away – be generous!
- Place pieces of smoked salmon on top – don’t mix, just leave them as they are.
- Cook over low heat – the omelette will be tender and not dry. When the top sets slightly, you can fold the omelette in half or leave it open.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve immediately – it’s best when hot.
Tips for the kitchen lazybones:
- Don’t overbeat the eggs – less air means a creamier omelette.
- Clarified butter brings out the flavor and doesn’t burn like regular butter.
- If you want an even creamier texture, add a tablespoon of heavy cream to the eggs.
- You can swap salmon for prosciutto, bacon, or avocado.
- Don’t be afraid to play with the ingredients – you can’t really mess this up!
Why is this omelette perfect for keto?
- Very low in carbs, high in fat and protein – the perfect keto ratio.
- Filling, quick, and no overthinking required.
- Spinach adds vitamins and fiber.
- It tastes great for everyone – even those not on keto.
This breakfast takes less than 10 minutes to make, requires no cooking talent, and gives you tons of energy for the day. Let me know in the comments if you try it – or share your favorite quick keto breakfast idea!
