This keto omelette is made inside out, with the sausage and cheese on the outside! They are super fun and easy to make.
What Is An Inside Out Omelette
Have you heard of a reverse omelette? It’s also called an inside out omelette and this recipe is all over TikTok. Basically, instead of cooking the eggs first and adding toppings to them, you cook the cheese and meat first.
Then, add the eggs to the top! When the eggs are cooked, fold the omelette over and the eggs are now on the inside.
It’s a really easy way for beginners to make an omelette. Honestly, trying to flip delicate eggs into an omelet is unnecessarily difficult. It really doesn’t have to be that hard! Just turn it inside out!
And on a related note: you can spell it omelet or omelette. They are both correct. Americans spell it omelet and Europeans spell it omelette. I’ll use both spellings in this recipe.
Shopping List
Before you make it, here’s what you’ll need from the store. All the exact amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Ground breakfast sausage
- Butter
- Olive oil
- Spinach leaves
- Mozzarella cheese shredded
- Eggs
- Minced garlic
- Bell pepper chopped

Ingredient Substitutions
Be creative with this inside out omelette! There are so many different ways you can make it. If you make changes, let me know in the comments.
Here are some of the easiest ingredient swaps you can make.
- Sausage: Use either mild or spicy breakfast sausage or swap it out for cooked bacon.
- Spinach: Kale is a fantastic swap for baby spinach in an omelet.
- Peppers: For some spice, add some jalapeno or habanero peppers.
Best Sausage For Keto Omelette
Since this is a keto-friendly omelette, always read the ingredients and make sure you aren’t using a maple-sweetened sausage. Any savory breakfast sausage will taste fantastic in it, though.
I personally love the inside out omelette! It’s easy to make and looks really fancy and impressive (but it’s actually easier to make than a traditional omelette).
Keto Breakfast Sides
A keto inside out omelette looks fancy and tastes delicious enough to show off at a brunch! It tastes best when it’s hot, so make it fresh.
Since this is an iconic breakfast recipe, serve it with your favorite breakfast foods. Start with a keto brown sugar shaken espresso. Then, add some keto pancake mix cinnamon donuts to the table for some sweet flavors.
A slice of keto ham and cheese quiche is a classic at any brunch. And for something sweeter, don’t forget to make some keto ricotta toast.
Storage
This is a fantastic recipe to make ahead and save yourself time in the morning. Or, eat it for lunch!
Meal Prep
Store the cooked inside out omelettes in an airtight storage container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Freezing
Yes, you can freeze a keto omelette! Store each one separate so they don’t freeze together. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to six months.
