Have you tried a dessert omelet? This recipe needs just three ingredients and it really doesn't take long to make. And because it is so low in carbs you can totally eat the whole thing on your own. Just watch out for the toppings, the berries especially can add up, so make sure you take that into consideration.
How to Make a Low Carb Dessert Omelet
Separate three eggs and beat the yolks with a fork in a small bowl with some low carb sweetener (eg Lakanto or Swerve).
In a stand mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Slowly fold in the egg yolk mixture.
Melt some butter in a skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Cook on a low heat for 5-7 minutes or until the bottom has set.
Place the skillet under a preheated broiler and continue to cook until the top has set, around 3-4 minutes.
Fold over the omelet, and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with whatever you fancy! Extra sweetener and fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries and/or raspberries work well with this omelet, as do low carb ice cream (try my zero carb ice cream!) or whipped cream.

I love this idea, Georgina. I haven't made a dessert omelette in at least 25 years. I think the last time I made one was while watching The Frugal Gourmet make an apple omelette. I think yours is better, though. :)
