This Keto Egg Fast Buffalo Omelette is easy to make and loaded with all your favorite delicious buffalo chicken flavor!
Yesterday I posted about the Keto Egg Fast that I’m undertaking, and a lot of you were interested in trying it out. For that reason I’ll be keeping track of what I eat, and posting the Keto Egg Fast recipes that I come up with here this week.
When I’m done I’ll post a complete Keto Egg Fast Diet Menu Plan for those of you that like the structure of knowing exactly what you’ll be eating. If you want to try it out using the basic guidelines that I’m using, you can find those here.
This morning I was down 5 lbs which was pretty awesome, not gonna lie! Now to be fair, I was retaining water having just finished up shark week, so the number may be inflated due to that.
Here’s a breakdown of the quantities of the eggs, butter, and cheese that I ate yesterday – I’ll be more detailed as to how I ate them when I post the keto egg fast meal plan at the end of the week.
What I Ate on Day One of My Keto Egg Fast Diet
10 eggs
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 oz blue cheese
2 Tbsp sugar free mayonnaise (Dukes)
8 Tbsp Kerrygold butter
1 Tbsp MCT oil (in my bulletproof coffee)
48 oz La Croix sparkling water
68 oz spring water
I was worried that it was too many calories, but since everyone says not to worry about it, I ate when I was hungry and this is how it turned out. 5 lbs down the next morning, and I’m not going to worry about calories again today either! I’ll post another recipe and my results from Day Two of the Keto Egg Fast Diet tomorrow!
This Keto Egg Fast Buffalo Omelette was my egg fast lunch yesterday and it was VERY filling and satisfying! I finished it myself because it was my largest meal of the day, but this could easily make 2 servings if you aren’t that hungry.
You could also make this Keto Egg Fast Buffalo Omelette frittata style by doubling the recipe, dropping the cream cheese mixture by spoonfuls into a greased casserole dish and then pouring the eggs over it and baking at 375 degrees (F) for about 30 minutes, or until firm. Then cut it into squares and reheat as needed.
Since the keto egg fast diet allows only eggs, butter, cheese, and limited carb free condiments, there isn’t a lot of variety in texture in this Keto Egg Fast Buffalo Omelette (though there is a LOT of flavor.) You could finely chop a couple of tablespoons of celery and add it, or some shredded chicken if you aren’t doing the keto egg fast diet and want something even heartier.

SO YUMMY and EASY! I may survive this egg fast after all! ?
Corinne says
Hi there, I’m just starting your meal plan and am a bit confused on how you said you ate 10 eggs day one? I’m following the meal plan to a T, had 2 eggs for breakfast, 1/2 cup egg salad for lunch, and am getting ready to have the 3 eggs in the omelette for dinner. This totals about 6.5 eggs by my calculations. Where are the extra 3.5 eggs coming from? Are you eating hard boiled eggs or something in-between as you feel hungry?
leslie says
what can I use besides blue cheese
Mellissa Sevigny says
You can just omit it.
Amy Bainbridge says
can I use gouda cheese instead of blue cheese ?
Julina says

Jen says
I’m following your egg fast plan this week, and just made the buffalo omelet for dinner. It’s amazing! I wish I’d seen the recipe before. It’s going into my normal dinner rotation after this week.
Becky says
This was delicious! My husband and daughter begged for me to make this for them next time.
sindhuliina says
I´m in love with this recipe! It´s unusually refreshing, bit spicy, bit cheesy and a lot filling. :P
Ashley says
I don’t see how people are asking can they eat half. Half? I could have ate another one lol.
Made this for lunch today and it was absolutely delicious. It seems wrong to be on a diet and enjoy food this much! I’m officially obsessed with your recipes and I love how you use cream cheese in like everything. Perfect for my ketogenic diet!

Hi Mellissa,
I have a question for you: I have done the egg fast several times before and had reasonable success breaking through a stall, although in some instances, I did regain the weight back. However, the last couple of times I wasn’t so successful. I’m wondering if I am exceeding the fat:egg ratio with too much fat. I always follow the 1:1 ratio in all of my meals, but I also have a couple of BPC, where that fat is not paired with an egg. I saw on your post where you did this a few times also. I thought that may help me get back into ketosis quicker, but I wonder if it’s causing problems too (maybe too many calories overall)??? I’d love to hear your (or anyone else’s) take on this.
Thanks!
Lauren says
I’m starting a fast tomorrow and so scared of gaining it all back. Why do you think you did? Did she ever reply about whether those extra BPC caused it not to work?
Also did you sometimes not lose with an egg fast? Hopings it will help me lose and keep it off. Did you slowly transition off?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Hi Lauren, there is no need to be scared! An extra BPC shouldn’t stall you since the calories don’t seem to be a factor on this diet as long as you are getting mostly fat. I have only gotten a few reports of people who haven’t lost anything – almost every single person loses, and most keep off more than half of it if they transition slowly back to regular low carb. There are several facebook groups dedicated to egg fasting where you can get lots of other helpful tips and hear from people who are having great success on it!
Laurenlaur says
Need substitute for mascarpone cheese. Can’t fine. Found one online to make using HC sour cream and cream cheese. Seems too high carb though.
Mellissa Sevigny says
You can use cream cheese in a pinch.
Amanda says
As someone who’s never made an omelette before, this was my attempt:

Not at all pretty, but it was delicious! Great recipe.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks amanda, glad you enjoyed it!
Amanda says
I made it again, and actually managed to make it look like an omelette! I’m kinda getting the hang of it.
