Ingredients

• 4 pcs large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 strips bacon
• 0.5 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup green bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and frothy. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean and add the butter. Heat over medium-low until melted and bubbling.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cooked vegetables, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one side of the omelet.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
