HOW TO MAKE YOUR HIGH PROTEIN CHEESEBURGER OMELETTE:
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  4. While the beef is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk them well.
  5. Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat. Pour the whisked eggs over the beef and onion mixture.

Notes

H2 PRO TIPS FOR THE PERFECT OMELETTE:
Always cook your omelette on low to medium heat. This keeps it tender and prevents overcooking.
Using a non-stick skillet can make the flipping process a lot smoother.
For an extra protein punch, consider adding a sprinkle of chia seeds or hemp seeds on top.
Don’t skip the mustard! It brings a tangy kick that complements the beef and cheese.
