Denver Omelet
All the way from the Mile High City, this classic omelet has all of my favorite breakfast options in one place. Vegetables, cheese, and savory meat make this a perfect keto meal for my weekday mornings, especially with sauteed garlic, which adds an additional flavor punch to the overall dish.
