Hearty Bacon and Tomato Omelette

Experience a delightful start to your day with this delectable omelette. Stuffed with crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and creamy cheddar cheese, this traditional breakfast dish is a culinary masterpiece that will delight your taste buds. Originating from France in the 17th century, the omelette has since evolved into various versions across the world. This recipe, with its hearty bacon and fresh tomatoes, is a nod to a classic American breakfast.

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Butter (1 tablespoon)
  • Green onions (2, finely chopped)
  • Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup, shredded)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, ground)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Milk (1/4 cup)
  • Eggs (4, large)
  • Tomatoes (1 medium, diced)
  • Bacon (4 slices, cooked crispy and crumbled)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it starts to sizzle.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  4. Sprinkle the crispy bacon, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely chopped green onions evenly over one half of the omelette.
  5. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling and reduce the heat to low. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
  6. Gently slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half, and serve hot. Enjoy this hearty breakfast with a side of toasted bread or fresh fruit.
