Ingredients

Eggs: We're using a combination of whole eggs and egg whites. If you prefer to use all whole eggs swap the egg whites for 6 whole eggs instead but note it will change the nutrition of the dish omelet.

Chicken Sausage: Use any brand of cooked and diced chicken sausage. You can also use pork or turkey sausage if you prefer.

Milk: I am using unsweetened almond milk but you can use regular milk or any other non-dairy milk you enjoy but be sure use one without any sweetener or flavor.

Veggies: The combination of spinach, white onion, and red and green bell pepper bulks up the omelet adding fiber and nutrients.

Parmesan Cheese: The sharp flavor of parmesan cheese adds richness, saltiness, and savoriness to the omelet. You can swap it with any cheese you prefer.

Seasoning: All you need is a bit of garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.

Variations

Veggie omelet: If you prefer this vegetarian you can simply eliminate the chicken sausage.

Dairy-free: Use a non-dairy milk you prefer and eliminate the cheese or replace it with your favorite brand of dairy-free cheese.

Different veggie combinations: You can easily swap out the veggies to use just about any that you enjoy. Mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, and kale are just a few ideas.

Recipe FAQs

What's the best way to reheat this omelet when making it ahead?

You can reheat it in the microwave for just a few short minutes until heated through. It's great to reheat in the oven or air fryer. Place it in a baking dish and heat at 350° F until heated through.

Can I make a double batch?

Sure, this works great if you're feeding a crowd on the weekend or for a family reunion. Just be prepared to extend the cooking time to allow for the eggs to fully set. I suggest not filling the slow cooker up past the half-way point for the best results.
