Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Smoked bleu cheese, crumbled
- 2 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1.5 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh chives, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the thick-cut bacon slices in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side until they begin to brown but are not fully crispy.
Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of brown sugar evenly over the bacon slices and continue to cook, flipping them occasionally, until the sugar melts and the bacon becomes caramelized (3–4 minutes). Remove the bacon and place it on parchment paper to cool. Once cooled, crumble into bite-sized pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is frothy and well combined.
In a clean non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-low heat, ensuring the butter coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked egg in the center to flow to the edges.
Once the top is mostly set but still slightly creamy, sprinkle the crumbled smoked bleu cheese and caramelized bacon pieces evenly over one half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula and let it cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese and warm the filling.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve immediately.
