Health benefits of Cheese Omelet

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

3 tbsps butter
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup fluid heavy cream
2 tbsps sour cream
8 large eggs
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
1 dash salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 servings 1 packet sugar substitute

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients except butter and sour cream in a bowl and beat with a wire whisk or mixer until smooth.

2. Melt butter in a large non-stick omelet pan.
