Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin A, B6, C, K, folate, and manganese. It is also stock full of magnesium, potassium, riboflavin, and iron. Lastly, it’s a good source of calcium and vitamin E.
The same goes with dill. It is packed with micronutrients that provide health benefits, including antioxidants that reduce inflammation. Not to mention, dill helps increase the taste of any dish!
Research studies have suggested that dill may have an antidiabetic effect. People use dill for certain medicinal purposes, including loss of appetite, kidney disease, bronchitis, and more. The keto diet is full of foods that heal body and soul! (1, 2)
Be careful when buying smoked salmon or meat. It usually contains nitrates, sugar, and preservatives. Look for a brand of wild-caught salmon that does not contain added sugars or nitrates, which have been linked to certain cancers.
The heavy cream and cream cheese in this dish help make the texture rich and creamy. Additionally, cream cheese and heavy cream contain a good amount of fat to help support your ketogenic goals.
This is a great dish to eat as breakfast or you can serve it for dinner in place of traditional sushi, which can’t be eaten on the keto diet because it contains rice and other non keto-friendly ingredients.
Chop these into bite-sized pieces and serve with chopsticks if you’re looking for a fun way to serve these rolls! Or let your guests dig in with their fingers and eat like a sandwich. There is no wrong way to eat them.
Let’s Do It!
To make, you will need eggs, heavy cream, frozen spinach, smoked salmon, cream cheese, butter, dill, salt and pepper to taste. Start by heating the spinach in a microwave for 30 seconds and drain it. If you’re using fresh spinach, just simply wash it then put in the blender.
Then, crack an egg into a blender. Add the heavy cream, spinach, sea salt and pepper to the blender and blend until smooth.
Melt a bit of butter or ghee in a stovetop pan and pour half of the blended mixture in. Cook the mixture until it just begins to set. Then add half of the smoked salmon.
Gently spread the cream cheese on top of the salmon. Add the chopped dill and roll the omelette carefully.
Pour the other half of the egg mixture into the pan and do the same.
Serve immediately!
