Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 2 slices bacon
- 0.5 red bell pepper
- 0.5 green bell pepper
- 0.25 onion
- 0.25 cups cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and then crumble into small pieces.
Drain most of the bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 teaspoon for extra flavor. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt.
Chop the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into small dice. Add the vegetables to the skillet and sauté them over medium heat until softened and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the skillet's heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the cooked vegetables, crumbled bacon, and cheddar cheese evenly across one half of the omelet. Let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are mostly set, and the cheese has melted.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the fillings to create a half-moon shape. Cook for another 1 minute to ensure the inside is cooked through.
Slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Farmhouse Omelet!
