Cinnamon roll omelet: A protein-packed twist on breakfast

Lately, I was wondering what I could prepare for breakfast for the family. I wanted something different than the classic egg salad sandwiches, pancakes, or waffles. I had eggs and yogurt in the fridge, so I came up with the idea to combine them. I added a few more ingredients, and what was the result? A delicious and satisfying omelet with skyr. I couldn't even serve it properly before it disappeared. In fact, my daughter tried to take my portion from the plate. The cinnamon roll omelet will now be a regular feature at our breakfast gatherings.

You might be asking: why is that? It won't surprise anyone when I say it's about protein. That's the ingredient with the highest content here. You'll find it in the egg and yogurt. The cinnamon roll omelet has a sweet taste and a fluffy texture (it truly tastes like cheesecake), and in my opinion, it's a great choice for those watching their weight. Although it's quite calorie-dense, you won't feel the need to snack later. The skyr omelet is made very quickly, and the list of ingredients is as follows.

Ingredients:

• 140 grams of vanilla skyr (I also recommend the salted caramel flavour),
• 2 eggs,
• 40 grams of flour,
• half a teaspoon of butter,
• sugar or sweetener,
• half a teaspoon of cinnamon,
• olive oil or cooking oil for frying.

Preparation:

The recipe for the cinnamon roll omelet is a quick and easy way to make a nutritious breakfast or snack — you can whip it up in a few minutes, and the ingredients are readily available. Yogurt provides a solid dose of protein, and the cinnamon butter imparts a distinct taste. Here's the step-by-step recipe:

1. Place the skyr and eggs in a bowl. Mix with a whisk or hand mixer until you have a uniform batter. You can also use a mixer or blender.
2. Add flour and baking powder to the mixture. Mix thoroughly again. Note: If the batter is too thick and resembles a dense pudding, I recommend adding a little milk or plant-based drink.
3. In a small bowl, melt the butter with sugar and cinnamon — pop it in the microwave for 20–30 seconds, and that's all you need.
4. Heat a pan and pour in some oil. Don't overdo it with the amount. If you have spray olive oil, perfect; if not, a single drop will suffice.
5. Just spread it over the entire pan.
6. Pour the batter onto the well-heated oil and smooth the surface. Cook the skyr omelet on low heat for about 3 minutes — it will start to rise and brown beautifully. At this point, make patterns with the cinnamon sugar and butter. That's why this dish is called a cinnamon roll omelet.
7. Flip your breakfast with a silicone spatula (do this carefully, as the batter is delicate) and cook for another two minutes.
8. Fruits or maple syrup complement the omelet well. I served it with peanut butter.
