Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the whole egg into a bowl. Separate the egg whites from 3 eggs and add them to the same bowl.
- Whisk the egg and egg whites together until well combined.
- Cook the bacon strips in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan, place on a paper towel to drain excess fat, and then chop into small pieces.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If needed, you can lightly grease the skillet with a bit of oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs coat the entire bottom of the skillet evenly.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they start to set but are still slightly runny on top.
- Evenly sprinkle the chopped bacon and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling, forming a half-moon shape.
- Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still tender.
- Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious bacon and egg omelet!
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the bacon in advance and drain it on a paper towel to remove excess grease.
- Whisk the egg and egg whites together until they are fully combined and slightly frothy for a fluffier omelet.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the omelet from sticking and to reduce the need for additional oil or butter.
- Cook the omelet on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking or burning.
- Add the cheese just before folding the omelet to ensure it melts properly.
- Serve immediately while the omelet is hot for the best taste and texture.
Cooking a bacon and egg omelet is a straightforward and rewarding experience. By following these tips and steps, you can create a delicious and satisfying breakfast that will get your day off to a great start. Enjoy your meal!
