Cheese, Spinach, and Bacon Omelet

Cheese, Spinach, and Bacon Omelet
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk (optional for fluffier eggs)
Salt and pepper to taste
2-3 slices of bacon
1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
Cook the Bacon:
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Drain excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 teaspoon to cook the spinach.
Sauté the Spinach:
In the same skillet, add the chopped spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Eggs:
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
Cook the Omelet:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, pour in the egg mixture, swirling the pan to ensure even coverage.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they start to set around the edges but are still slightly runny in the center.
Add the Fillings:
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelet. Add the sautéed spinach and crumbled bacon on top of the cheese.
Fold the Omelet:
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings using a spatula. Press gently to seal and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
Serve:
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. You can garnish with additional cheese, fresh herbs, or a side of toast if desired.
Tips:
For a fluffier omelet, whisk the eggs vigorously to incorporate more air.
Feel free to customize the fillings by adding other ingredients like mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers.
This Cheese, Spinach, and Bacon Omelet is a hearty and delicious breakfast option that combines savory flavors with a touch of freshness from the spinach. Perfect for a satisfying start to the day!
