Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Bacon and Onion Omelet.
Step 1
Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat and cooking the bacon until it’s perfectly crispy.
Step 2
Once it reaches that delightful crunch, use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon onto paper towels, allowing it to drain and cool.
Step 3
Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces and set it aside for later.
Step 4
In the same skillet, melt some butter over medium heat.
Step 5
Toss in the diced sweet onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become tender and fragrant, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Next, grab a 10-inch non-stick skillet and give it a light spray with cooking spray.
Step 7
Place it on a cold burner.
Step 8
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and a splash of water until well combined.
Step 9
Pour this egg mixture into the cold skillet, cover it, and then turn the burner to medium-low heat.
Step 10
Keep an eye on it until you see steam starting to escape from under the lid, which means it’s cooking beautifully.
Step 11
Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Remove the lid and sprinkle the crumbled bacon, shredded Cheddar cheese, diced American cheese, a pinch of salt, and a dash of crushed red pepper flakes over the eggs.
Step 12
Don’t forget to evenly distribute those tender, cooked onions on top for an extra layer of deliciousness.
Step 13
To finish off your omelet, gently swirl the skillet in a circular motion to help release it, then carefully slide it onto a plate.
Step 14
Fold the omelet in half and let it sit for about 2 minutes.
Step 15
This little pause allows the cheese to melt into gooey perfection.
Step 16
Enjoy your scrumptious creation, and savor every bite of this delightful breakfast treat!.
