Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup, shredded
- Large eggs
- 3
- Bacon
- 3 strips, cooked and crumbled
- Chives
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously until they are frothy. This will ensure a fluffy omelette. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat up a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.

- Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon and shredded sharp cheddar cheese over half of the omelette.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the bacon and cheese. Let it cook for another minute, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and extra flavor.
- Serve your Bacon and Cheddar Omelette hot, preferably with a side of toasted bread or a fresh salad. Enjoy this delightful breakfast that's sure to kickstart your day!
