Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup andouille sausage, diced
- 0.25 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, swirling it to coat the pan.
Add the diced andouille sausage, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and red onion to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the sausage is lightly browned. Transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs spread evenly. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over one side of the omelette, followed by the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture.
Top the filling with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully cooked.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or a dash of hot sauce for added flavor.
