Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 4 slices Canadian bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup onion
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring the entire surface is coated.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a small plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the Canadian bacon slices and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly browned. Remove from the skillet and cut into small strips or pieces.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom sets slightly.
Sprinkle the sautéed vegetables, Canadian bacon pieces, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the egg mixture.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings. Press gently to seal.
Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the omelet is cooked through but still tender.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut it into halves if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Canadian Bacon Omelet!
