Keto Omelette Wrap
Sturdy and fluffy flavored omelets used to make a wrap of your favorite fillings.
Having made Keto Tortillas, I thought this Keto Omelette Wrap recipe would be similar. Its not, its more substantial than the tortillas and even without filling, I felt like I was getting the correct keto numbers for my day.
An omelette is a savoury egg dish popular around the world. It is typically made by lightly beating eggs and cooking them in a frying pan with butter or oil, sometimes adding other ingredients such as vegetables, cheese, meat, or spices to create flavour. Omelettes are believed to have originated in France during the 19th century. Today they are a staple in many cuisines across the globe. They can be served as a breakfast dish, snack, or light meal. They are often garnished with herbs, spices, and condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot sauce to add additional flavour.
Omelettes can also be filled with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, vegetables, and meats to create a more substantial dish. They are particularly popular in North America where they are often served with a side of toast or hash browns. In Mexico, omelettes are commonly served burrito-style with salsa and other toppings for added flavour. No matter where you are in the world, omelettes are a tasty and versatile dish that can be enjoyed any time of day.
What is pesto and where does its name originate from?
This Keto Omelette Wrap included Pesto in it’s ingredients. So I wanted to know more about this Mediterranean rich sauce. Pesto is a sauce originating from Genoa, Italy. It is usually made of crushed garlic, fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and either Pecorino or Grana Padano cheese. Traditionally, pesto was made using a mortar and pestle – hence the name ‘pesto’, which comes from the Italian verb pestare meaning “to pound” or “to crush”.
These days, many people make pesto with a food processor or blender which makes it much easier to prepare than traditional methods. Pesto can be used as a spread on sandwiches and toast, as a topping on fish and chicken or as a sauce for pastas. It can also be used as an ingredient in soups, risottos and other dishes. It doesn’t have to be made from basil only; you can use a variety of herbs such as parsley, cilantro, dill, sage and even kale. Additionally, you can use different nuts such as walnuts and almonds or even a combination of those. You can also try making with alternative cheeses such as feta and goat cheese to give it a unique flavour.
