This Bacon and Mushroom omelette is baked in an oven dish providing perfectly cooked slices of rich and creamy omelette. The recipe is versatile in that you could adapt the ingredients if you wish to use other low carb veggies or fresh herbs. If you wish to make it dairy free you could simply add two more small eggs. Perfect served with a simple green salad or some buttered broccoli.
