- 4 omelets
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk (60 mL)
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (170 g)
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (28 g)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives, optional
Directions
- Cook the bacon until crisp, then transfer to a cutting board and chop into small pieces.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until well combined.
- Melt 1/2 Tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour in one-quarter of the egg mixture and cook until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly soft.
- Sprinkle one half with chopped bacon and shredded cheddar.
- Once the cheese begins to melt, slide a spatula underneath the empty half and fold it over the filling.
- Cook for another 30–60 seconds, until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 omelets.
- Serve immediately, topped with chopped chives if desired.
