Omelet Recipe

Tuna and Cheese Omelet

A high protein omelet recipe made with fresh eggs, tuna salad, and medium cheddar cheese. A good recipe if you want something fairly low carb. Serve for a hearty breakfast or brunch.

This is one of my favorite egg recipes that my husband came up with. I finally decided to try it, as I didn't think tuna belonged in an omelet, and it is surprisingly good.

The flavor of the tuna mellows when cooked and the cheddar cheese complements the tuna quite nicely.

You might think this is an odd combination of ingredients, but give it a try at least once to see what you think for yourself.

This egg recipe is very high in protein with the eggs, tuna, and cheese. There are also almost no carbs, so it can work well for a low carbohydrate diet.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredient List:

2 eggs
1 small can tuna
1/3 cup mayonnaise
4 ounces shredded medium cheddar cheese
1 Tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
Dash of salt
Dash of Pepper

Cooking Equipment Needed:

Non-Stick Vegetable Cooking Spray
10" stainless steel frying pan
small mixing bowls

Instructions:

Step 1: In a small mixing bowl, break eggs and mix with a whisk. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the tuna salad in a separate mixing bowl by mixing the small can of tuna with the mayonnaise. Set aside.

Step 3: Shred the cheddar cheese and set aside.

Step 4: Spray the cold frying pan with non-stick vegetable cooking spray and then preheat for 4 minutes on medium heat. Test how hot the pan is by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. You should have a good sizzle, but not too hot.

Step 5: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and let them cook until they are almost set up. The eggs should slide easily within the pan.

Step 6: Sprinkle the egg with Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add in a spoon or two of the tuna and the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7: Slide the cooked egg out onto a plate. Place in microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese, then fold over in half with a pancake turner.

Makes 1 large omelet.
