Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for milder flavor)
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil or butter for the skillet
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and tools.
- Cook Bacon: In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy (about 5–7 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet with bacon fat, sauté diced jalapeños and green onions until fragrant (about 2–3 minutes).
- Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper until frothy.
- Cook Omelet Base: Pour whisked eggs into the hot skillet over medium-low heat. Cook undisturbed until edges begin to set (about 3–4 minutes).
- Add Fillings & Fold: Once mostly set but still slightly runny on top, spread cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sautéed veggies, and bacon over half of the omelet. Carefully fold it in half using a spatula.
- Finish Cooking: Cover the skillet with a lid for about 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese fully while ensuring the omelet cooks through without browning too much.
- Serve: Transfer to a plate and garnish with extra green onions or avocado slices if desired.
