On occasion when time is an issue for me in the kitchen I can find myself going back to the good ol' omelette. Now of course anyone doing the low carb diet is probably not that new to the omelette. Its eggs and cheese which are both low carb and totally acceptable on the low carb lifestyle so it just makes sense that it would show up on your plate often.  If you have been doing atkins for a while then you have probably already eaten your share of omelettes and you are sick and tired of the same thing. Its easy for that to happen. Well, it doesn't have to be that way.

The trick is to use get a little creative with what you use for your ingredients. You'll be surprised at how many things can taste delicious. And don't feel bad getting some better cheese involved. Those Kraft singles can only do so much for flavor.

The Italian- Fresh mozzarella, some Italian sausage or pepperoni, and a light marinara sauce.
The Mexican- Spicy Pepper Jack cheese, some freshly cooked chorizo, and a little sour cream.
The American- Fresh Cheddar Cheese, bacon, cooked ground beef, and BBQ sauce.
The Irish- Fresh white cheddar, a can of Corned beef Hash.
The Hawaiian- Ham, Pineapple, Pepper jack cheese.

Get creative, You would be surprised at how many things go well with eggs. And remember the better the ingredients the better the omelette.

Omelettes are life savers for sure. I also create my own favorites like the Rueben with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, deli corned beef & sometimes I add a little 1000 Island dressing.
