Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup andouille sausage
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon scallions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the diced andouille sausage, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is slightly browned.
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the sausage and vegetables, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to ensure the eggs spread evenly.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet, followed by the sausage and vegetable mixture.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the filled side. Press gently to seal and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
Transfer the omelet to a plate. Garnish with chopped scallions and a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy, flavorful Cajun Omelet!
