    Egg omelette with carrots

    The other day, I did not have my go-to omelette veggies, so I decided to experiment and added some grated carrot to my favorite breakfast. And it turned out to be one of the best omelettes I've ever made.

    Soft beaten eggs with sweet carrots and onions, salt, and pepper is cooked with ghee butter to create the most nutritious breakfast.

    Carrots will add extra nutrients to your breakfast as they are rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Calcium, and dietary fiber.

    Ingredients

    Labeled recipe ingredients on a white background.
    • Eggs - large or medium eggs as a main ingredient. I always use free-range or organic eggs.
    • Carrots - you will need a small carrot or half of the medium one. You can add more or less by taste.
    • Onion - yellow or white onion. It adds a nice flavor, but you can easily skip it.
    • Salt and Black Pepper - add by taste to whisked eggs. I also love to add a good amount on already cooked omelette.
    • Water - water will make the eggs fluffy. You can use milk instead.
    • Ghee Butter - ghee butter adds great buttery flavor and is a great for frying. You can also use regular butter or olive oil.

    How to make carrot omelette

    Peel and dice the onion finely and set it aside.

    Finely diced onions on a wooden cutting board.

    Wash and peel the carrot. Use a finer side of a box grater to shred the carrots. You can also do it it in the food processor. But for one serving, it is faster to use a manual box grater.

    A cutting board with grated carrots and a box grater on the side.

    In an 8" non stick frying pan, add ghee butter. Heat it over medium heat and add diced onions. Cook onions for about 3-4 minutes stirring often until they become translucent and start browning.

    Now, add grated carrots to the frying pan and cook for another 5 minutes stirring often. If the pan seems dry, add little but more ghee. Cook the carrot until they start browning and are softer.

    In a small bowl, whisk 2 eggs, water, a pinch of salt and black pepper until combined. I usually whisk it with the fork, it works great.

    Frying pan with cooked diced onions. Drying pan with added grated carrots. A glass bowl with whisked egg mixture an dd a fork. A frying pan with uncooked egg omelette,

    Pour the egg mixture to the pan with cooked carrots and onions. Stir everything gently, cover with the lid and cook it on low heat for about 8 minutes until the eggs look fully cooked and do not look runny on top.

    Make ahead

    This carrots omelette can last in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Just make sure to refrigerate it as soon as it cools down. I often make a double batch to last it for a few days. Just warm it up in the microwave the next day to enjoy it for breakfast or even lunch.

    Add-ins

    • cooked bacon bits
    • smoked salmon
    • diced ham
    • shredded cheese
    • diced spring onion, bell peppers or tomatoes.

    Tips

    • For one serving carrot omelette (made with 2-3 eggs) use an 8" size non stick pan. Use bigger pan if making 4-6 egg omelette.
    • Cook the vegetables before adding the eggs as they take much faster to cook.
    • Set a side some grated fresh carrot and sprinkle some on top of the cooked omelette on a serving plate.
