Pro Tips

• Cook the bacon on Sauté until properly crispy first — the rendered fat then greases the baking dish and flavors the whole omelet.
• Beat the eggs well with the chives before stirring in the bacon and cheddar; evenly distributed fillings mean every bite is balanced.
• Use the bacon fat to grease the dish rather than butter — it's the flavor shortcut that makes this omelet taste special.
• The 17-minute pressure cook sets a fluffy, soufflé-like texture; quick-release right away to keep it from overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this omelet keto?

Extremely — 1.8g net carbs, 25g protein, and 30g of fat make it an ideal single-serving keto breakfast.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes — use a larger baking dish and add a few minutes of cooking time. It scales easily for two hungry people.

Can I make it in a skillet?

Absolutely — fry the bacon, pour in the beaten eggs and fillings, and fold like a classic omelet over medium-low heat.

What can I add to it?

Diced onion, spinach, or extra cheese all work — just keep additions small so the omelet still sets evenly.
