Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 links breakfast sausage
- 0.5 cup bell pepper (assorted colors)
- 0.25 cup onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, crack the eggs, add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well mixed and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sausage links. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across the surface. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage, bell peppers, onion, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press lightly to seal and let cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Slide the omelet carefully onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
