The Keto Dad Tips and Tricks:
There are SO many combinations! For example, grab jalapeños and salsa to make Mexican omelets. Finely dice broccoli and grate cheddar cheese for more of quiche flavor.
An 8oz mason jar 3/4 full of toppings will hold 1 egg. With closer to 1/4 full of toppings you can fit 2 eggs. Use a 16oz if you want a full restaurant sized omelette. We have a ton of the half pint or 8oz size so we’ll just make two omelettes each!
You can spray the inside of the jar with avocado or olive oil for easier cleanup. However, we were able to easily clean them without spraying them.
We dice the ingredients and store them in the fridge without the egg. Then add the egg right before we cook. If we meal prep on Sunday, the veggies stay good in the mason jars all week!
Macros will vary based on the ingredients you add. The softer the cheese, the more carbs. The sweeter the veggie, the more carbs.
