Herbed Cream Cheese Omelet
"Somehow, when cream cheese is mixed with herbs and melted in an omelet, it acquires a wonderful taste that you wouldn't associate with cream cheese."
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
8 eggs
DIRECTIONS
Mix the cream cheese with the cilantro in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Heat one-quarter of the butter in a well-seasoned omelet pan or 8 inch non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. When the butter is hot and bubbling, swirl it around in the pan.
Just before the butter begins to brown, beat 2 of the eggs and pour into pan. Lower the heat.
After 10 seconds or so, the omelet will coagulate. Push the omelet to one side of the pan with a spoon or spatula, and let the raw egg run over the cleared skillet. Repeat this one more time, then take the skillet off the heat.
Dab one quarter of the herbed cream cheese along the middle of the omelet from one side to the other. Season the omelet with additional salt and pepper to taste. If it has not completely set, place the pan over medium heat for a half minute longer. When the omelet is set, slide it from the pan onto a plate so that the omelet rolls up and the herbed cream cheese runs along the length of the roll. Serve it right away. Make three more omelets the same way, making sure the pan and butter get good and hot before adding the beaten eggs. Serve each one as soon as it is cooked.

Eggs and cheese are both low carb foods.... Stay away from toast, bagels and most breads... However, if you wrapped it in a tortilla the carb count isn't too bad... Woman need a certain amount of carbs a day I try to stick to about 15-30 carbs per meal.. You'll still lose weight.. If you can get whole wheat tortillas.. Even better.... Good luck....

I've tried this and it is soooo good!! They have other recipes so check the site out.
3 eggs, any size or egg substitute
3 teaspoons water
2 slices Canadian bacon, chopped (I use pre-cooked)
1 large ripe roma tomato, chopped (or 2 small ones)
1/4-1/2 cup lowfat mozzarella cheese, shredded or fat free mozzarella cheese, shredded (or any cheese) or monterey jack cheese (or any cheese)
2 teaspoons dried basil (or same amount fresh)
1 teaspoon onion powder or 1/3 cup chopped onions
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
sea salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for heart benefits)
1. Beat eggs and water together in a bowl.
2. Add salt (I don't use salt due to the saltiness of the Canadian Bacon, but other people in my family want more) and pepper to egg mixture.
3. Heat oil in frying pan or omelet pan over medium heat until bubbly.
4. Pour in eggs and let cook until partly set on bottom, DO NOT FLIP EGGS OVER.
5. Spoon Canadian Bacon, tomatoes, basil, onions or onion powder, and cheese on one half of the pan and flip empty half of eggs over the tomato mixture.
6. Flip entire omelet over and cook until eggs are set.
7. Note: If you're using Canadian Bacon that has not been pre-cooked fry it in the same pan you will use for the omelet before adding the EVOO(unless you're using one of those fancy omelet pans, which I don't).
