If your morning bacon and eggs has gotten a little too routine, here is a way to mix it up. I made myself a chocolate and cream cheese omelet on Sunday and it was divine!

Ingredients:

• 1 TBSP butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 TBSP heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa
• 2 packets of stevia
• 1 oz. cream cheese

Directions

• Put the butter in your skillet and set the flame on medium.
• While the skillet is warming up, mix the eggs, cream, cocoa and 1 packet of stevia in a bowl. The cocoa won’t fully mix in (there will be tiny chunks of it), but that doesn’t affect the taste.
• Once the butter is fully melted and bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the pan and put on a lid for approximately three minutes.
• Mix the cream cheese with the other packet of stevia (you can use the same bowl that you mixed your eggs in).
• Flatten the cream cheese mixture until it is approximately the size of half your omelet.
• Place the cream cheese on the egg mixture and gently fold in half.
• Cook for two minutes more or until the cream cheese is melted.
• Allow to cool slightly before serving (no one wants molten cream cheese lava burning their tongues in the morning).

I’ve found that Sweet N Low tastes better than Splenda in this recipe. Additionally, using coconut oil instead of butter makes it taste especially yummy and only adds twenty calories. I talked about it here:
