Preparation of Thursday keto lunch
To make Thursday’s keto lunch, first of all you need to cook the sausages in a griddle or a cast-iron skillet or any other method is fine
Meanwhile, beat 2 egg whites with a fork, then transfer them to a very hot mini pan greased with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook until you get a thin omelette-like layer, then using a silicone spatula loosen it underneath and then flip it. After 1 minute of cooking, sprinkle it with 2 tbsp of Parmesan (about 10 g). Turn off the heat and keep the omelette warm in the covered pan. Just before plating, roll it up
At this point just transfer the well-cooked pork sausages to a plate. Add the omelette, finish with a serving of cucumbers.
Dress everything with the remaining oil
