Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure they cover the bottom evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until the edges start to set.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
- Cook for an additional minute or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through but still moist.
- Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot. For an extra touch, garnish with chopped chives or parsley.
Tips
- For added flavor, try using different types of cheese such as Swiss or pepper jack.
- You can also add vegetables like diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach for a more nutritious version.
- Make sure to cook the bacon until it's crispy to ensure it adds the perfect crunch to your omelet.
