Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons green chiles (canned, diced)
- 0.25 cup black beans (cooked and rinsed)
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 slices cooked bacon (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 1 tablespoon cilantro (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well blended and fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the skillet to allow any uncooked egg mixture to flow to the edges.
Evenly sprinkle the green chiles, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon over one half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using the spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and heat the filling through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and top with salsa. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful southwestern-inspired omelet.
