Loaded Western Omelets

Did you grow up eating omelets? Ah, the taste of nostalgia! There's just something undeniably comforting about sinking my teeth into a deliciously warm bite of a loaded omelet. Nothing brings a smile to my face quite like indulging in a delicious, low-carb staple. With each guilt-free bite, I savor the perfect combination of cheesy goodness and crispy yet tender vegetables. It's breakfast comfort food at its finest, reminding me that sometimes, the simplest pleasures in life can be remarkably delicious.

The sheer joy that spreads across my face as the familiar flavors dance on my taste buds is priceless. Whether it's the crispy egg that gives a satisfying bite or the melt-in-your-mouth cheesy goodness that follows, every bite is a little taste of nostalgia that transports me to simpler times. As I savor each mouthful, I can't help but feel a surge of contentment knowing that I'm indulging in a guilt-free pleasure. It's the perfect comfort food that never fails to put a smile on my face and make my belly happy.

This go-to omelet recipe is an all time favorite of mine, but it is also customizable to what you are craving! Want to change up the protein? Instead of adding ham steak or Canadian bacon, add in turkey bacon or sausage. Don’t like onions? Leave them out! Have a picky eater in the family? A simple cheese omelet can satiate their appetite too! The combinations are endless.

Loaded Western Omelets

Jam packed with ingredients and flavors, the Loaded Western Omelet will be your knew favorite for a weekend brunch! It is a diner classic including eggs, sauteed bell peppers and onions, ham and cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 small green bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
• 1/2 small red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
• 4 ounces ham steak or Canadian bacon*, coarsely chopped and dried with paper towel to remove excess moisture
• 1 1/2 ounces coarsely grated medium or sharp cheddar cheese (heaping 1/3 cup)
• Sea salt
• Black pepper
• Nonstick cooking spray, optional*

Equipment

• Two medium bowls
• Whisk
• Spatula
• Large skillet
• Large spoon or ladle
• Cutting board
• Paper towels

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
2. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. When melted and starting to foam, add the bell pepper and onion, season lightly with salt and pepper and stir to coat in the butter. Shake into an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetable are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to medium bowl, add cheese and stir to combine.
4. R educe the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat the pan. Whisk the egg mixture and pour half into the skillet. Cook without touching until the eggs around the edges of the pan are set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a spatula, slightly pull the edge of the omelet in toward the center and, while holding the spatula in place, tilt the pan so that the egg runs to the empty skillet. Repeat this around the edge of the whole circle until the surface is nearly set but still shiny. (No runny egg will travel when you tilt the pan.)
5. Spoon half the vegetable mixture onto half the egg, cover the skillet with a lid or baking sheet, and cook until the egg is set and the cheese is melted, 1 to 3 minutes. Run the spatula around the edges, then fold the naked half over half with the filling. Slide the omelet onto a plate, then repeat with the remaining butter, egg and filling.

Notes

1. What is your go-to protein? If you would rather omit ham and replace it with bacon or sausage, go for it! You can replace the ham with your favorite protein, just precook accordingly before making omelets.
2. Nonstick Cooking Spray: You can use canned cooking spray, or brush on a high-heat cooking oil like avocado, grapeseed, or canola oil.
