How long have you been eating omelettes for? Probably a long time, right? Eggs are the perfect low-carb food, but many people get sick of eating them every day for breakfast. That’s why you need to find creative ways to make an omelette.
My Mortadella omelette rolls are exactly what you need. It’s low-carb, convenient to eat (it’s the perfect thing to grab in the morning on your way out the door), and takes 10 minutes to make.
My recipe requires you to make a “pancake” out of your eggs. Then you’ll roll it in slices of Mortadella, which is a type of thin Italian sausage similar to deli meat. It contains pork fat for a creamy and filling treat that will be sure to get you through until lunch without feeling hungry.
Research shows that eggs are a good source of a variety of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, and potassium. They also contain most vitamins (except for C), such as niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6 folate, vitamin B12, vitamins A, E, D, and K (1).
Eggs are also an excellent source of essential proteins, vitamins, minerals, fats, and bioactive compounds. They contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which are especially beneficial for eye health.
Freshly chopped parsley adds vitamins A, C, and K, and the minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Parsley is also a great source of antioxidants that can help fight oxidative damage, which may lead to certain diseases, including cancer (2, 3).
Gouda cheese is also included in this omelette roll. It has a decadent flavor that pairs well with the Mortadella meat and eggs. Plus, it’s higher in fat than most cheeses. This can help fuel your body with ketones to help you stay energized (mentally and physically) all day.
Enjoy this Mortadella omelette roll with a side of low-carbohydrate veggies or berries for a nutrient-dense meal.
How to Make Low Carb Mortadella Cheese Omelette Rolls
Add the eggs, heavy cream, herbs, salt and pepper into a blender and blend until smooth.
Melt a teaspoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook until the eggs just begin to set.
Lay slices of Gouda cheese over the omelette. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the cheese is melted and the eggs are set.
Put a piece of plastic wrap down and lay down a layer of Mortadella. Add your omelette to the top and roll like a wrap. Slice the omelette in bite-sized pieces.
Serve and enjoy!
