    This cheese steak omelette is super filling and just want you need to kick start your day. The perfect omelette for gym goers or those who are looking for recipe with a high protein and low carb ratio.

    Although I have never been to Philadelphia, I do vividly recall going to a food joint in Florida and ordering a Philly cheese steak.

    It was the name more than anything which I found appealing, nevertheless I devoured the entire thing and would gladly eat seconds.

    You see I'm usually a porridge and smoothie type of girl, I'm in love with my Sweet Mango Pineapple and Banana Smoothie  and if I'm out of mango then I whip up a bowl of Jamaican Oats Porridge.

    Fast forward in time and now I'm making variations of all things Philly including this omelette. I went through a phase where I was hooked on cheese steak omelettes but not just any. It had to be a higher ratio of egg whites to yolk to make it more protein based.

    It's a recipe that is a favourite of mine and one that I feel my health enthusiasts will enjoy. In short this recipe is a protein loaded revamp of the Philly cheese steak sandwich only with the white eggs replacing the bread.

    I have other omelettes recipes that you may like too. If you like sweet potatoes in your omelette then this Sweet Potato Omelette is perfect for you. Alternatively, you may like this leafy green Spinach and Mushroom Omelette instead.

    Which dairy free cheese to use

    There are quite a few vegan/dairy free cheese brands on the market. Here in the UK we have an abundance of foolproof cheese, some of them are worldwide while other's aren't

    Here are a few that tick the box for me

    • Daiya cheese shreds
    • Violife
    • Bute Island Apple wood cheese (this is a favourite of mine)

    Of course if you have a favourite brand that's not listed simply use that instead.

    The steak rub

    How to make a steak omelette

    egg white philly cheese steak omelette

    Apply the steak seasoning to the beef and set aside than proceed to sautee the onions.

    Add the bell peppers to the saucepan along with the kale and continue to cook.

    Finally add the beaten egg whites to the skillet, rotate the pan to the sides so the egg seeps underneath the pan evenly and bottom cooks through.

    Add the beef, peppers, kale and cheese to one side of the omelette before folding it over and leave to cook for another few minutes.

    Notes and tips

    • This recipe has a higher percentage of egg whites for more protein power. If you want to add more egg yolks feel free to do so.
    • I used steak bites which are more chunky, if you can get hold of thinly sliced steak pieces use that instead. Both work regardless!
    • Make sure the inside of the omelette is completely cooked through by tilting the pan.
    • Feel free to add additional vegetables to your omelette if you want to.
