Wake up to the hearty flavors of the Montana Omelet, a breakfast masterpiece that combines the smoky richness of crispy bacon, the earthiness of sautéed mushrooms, and the vibrant crunch of red and green bell peppers. This protein-packed omelet is loaded with shredded sharp cheddar cheese for creamy, melted goodness and seasoned to perfection with a touch of salt and pepper. Cooked to a fluffy, golden texture, the omelet is a true one-pan wonder, finished off in just over 20 minutes. Ideal for busy mornings or a cozy brunch, this savory dish is as visually stunning as it is satisfying. Serve it warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, for a restaurant-quality breakfast right at home!
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and frothy. Set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, and crumble it into bite-sized pieces once cool. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the sliced mushrooms and diced bell peppers. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and add the butter. Heat over medium-low until melted and bubbling.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the cooked vegetables, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one side of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other side of the omelet over the filling and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
