TOTAL TIME 20

Ingredients

▢½ TBS salted butter

▢3 large eggs

▢Pinch salt and pepper

▢¼ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Fillings:

Vegetables

▢1 tsp olive oil

▢1 tsp minced garlic

▢1 cup vegetables diced small (bell pepper, zucchini, onion, etc.)

▢Salt and pepper to taste

Onion bacon, garlic:

▢1 tsp minced garlic

▢2 TBS minced onion

▢2 slices bacon dice

Instructions

Begin by preparing your preferred fillings.

Vegetables:

Dice 1 cup of vegetables.

Over medium-high heat, sauté the vegetables and garlic in olive oil until soft, about 3-5 minutes depending on the vegetables you choose. Set aside.

Bacon

Cook bacon, garlic and onion over medium heat until bacon is cooked and onion is soft (5-8 minutes). Set aside.

Make the Omelette

Whisk eggs vigorously until they are homogenous (uniform throughout). Whisk in salt and pepper.

Melt butter in an 8” nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

Add whisked eggs and swirl the pan until they are evenly distributed.

Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat until the eggs begin to set. Once they begin to set, use a spatula to gently push the edges in slightly and swirl the pan so that any uncooked eggs on the top pour over the sides to the edges of the pan and cook.

Once the omelette is mostly set (about 5-6 minutes), carefully flip it and turn off the heat.

Sprinkle cheese over the top of the omelette.

Then, add the toppings on one half of the omelette, and fold the other half over the toppings.

Serve immediately.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

Salted Butter. Unsalted and gee are good substitutes. You can also use olive oil, although I don’t recommend it because you loose that buttery, salty exterior which is just divine.

Eggs. Use organic, pasture-raised, large brown eggs for the best results.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese. Choose your favorite cheese. We prefer sharp cheddar, but other suggestions include: gouda, mozzarella, Colby Jack, etc.

Omelette Filling SuggestionsVegetables: zucchini, bell peppers, spinach, corn, broccoli (cut small), onions, leeks, tomatoes, etc.

Meats. crumbled and cooked breakfast sausage, bacon, Canadian bacon, ham, smoked salmon, leftover cooked chicken, smoked pork, shredded chicken, etc.

Starches. oven roasted potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, mushrooms, etc.

Cheeses. My kids prefer their omelettes simply with extra cheese melted in the middle. These cheeses are great with any omelette: cheddar, Gruyère, Swiss, American, gouda, goat cheese, feta, Colby jack, etc.

Herbs/spices. add some herbs for extra flavor. Chives, dill, parsley, minced garlic, paprika, etc.

How to Store an Omelette

Store leftover omelets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven set to warm until heated through.
