Buffalo chicken in any form is a go-to favorite in my house and I personally love, love, love omelettes, so I decided to combine the two this morning for brunch. The result was the absolutely delicious creation! By using just one whole egg along with egg whites, I was able to keep the calorie count reasonable and still have a nice sized omelette end up on the plate.
Also, as a side note, if you have never cooked your eggs in coconut oil before, I highly recommend you try it. Coconut oil is great to use when cooking at high-heat temperatures since it doesn’t oxidize in the pan and has added health benefits. On top of that, eggs cooked in coconut oil seem to come out fluffier, shinier, and with a slightly sweet taste!
