Ingredients
Omelette:
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash black pepper
Filling:
- ¼ medium white onion (diced)
- ⅓ medium bell pepper (diced)
- ⅔ cup cooked breakfast meat (bacon, sausage, ham… (1/3lb uncooked weight))
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
Pre-prep:
- Cook the breakfast meat and set it aside.
- Chop the vegetables and saute them in a skillet until they are soft.
Egg Mixture:
- Once the meat and vegetables are cooked and set aside, prepare the egg mixture. It works best to mix together enough for just 1 skillet at a time.
- In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and a dash each of salt and pepper.
- Grease then heat a 10" cast iron skillet over high heat.
- When the skillet is hot, pour in the egg mixture and rotate the pan in a circular motion until the egg evenly coats the bottom of the pan.
- As the egg cooks, gently push the cooked part toward the middle of the pan and allow the uncooked part to run to the outer edges. *Don't break up the eggs though.*
- When the eggs are nearly completely cooked, sprinkle the meat/vegetable toppings on half of the omelette then sprinkle the cheese on top of the meat and vegetables.
- Flip the empty side of the eggs over the toppings and finish cooking.
- When the omelette is completely cooked, carefully slide the omelette onto a platter, sprinkle some cheese over the top, and keep warm in the oven.
Notes:
This is a very versatile recipe. You can add or substitute as many types of vegetables or meats as you want.
Prep ahead: You can easily saute the vegetables and cook the meat the night before. Then in the morning, all you have to do is reheat them.
