Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 slices bacon
- 0.5 small yellow onion
- 0.5 medium bell pepper
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel. Once cool, crumble it into small pieces.
While the bacon is cooking, finely chop the onion and bell pepper. Discard the seeds and stem of the bell pepper.
Drain the excess bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 teaspoon. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté over medium heat until they are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer them to a small bowl and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean, then add the butter and melt it over medium-low heat.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the sautéed onions, bell peppers, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet. Use a spatula to gently fold the other side of the omelet over the fillings.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your hearty country omelet!
