ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tablespoon heavy cream

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Pinch of pepper

• 1 tablespoon unsalted grass-fed butter

• 2 slices cooked bacon, chopped (divided)

• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

• 2 tablespoons ground breakfast sausage

Garnish (optional):

• Chopped Italian parsley

• Shredded cheddar cheese

• Cooked bacon, chopped

directions

1. Prepare the egg mixture:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.

2. Cook the sausage:

   • Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat the breakfast sausage over medium-high heat. Break the sausage into pieces with a spatula and cook until no pink remains (about 8-10 minutes). Drain any grease and set aside.

3. Cook the omelette base:

   • In a small, non-stick skillet (about 8 inches), melt the butter over medium-low heat. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom with butter.

   • Add the egg mixture to the pan. As the edges of the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently pull the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Repeat around the pan until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly undercooked.

4. Add the fillings:

   • On one half of the omelette, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese, 2 tablespoons of cooked sausage, and 2 tablespoons of bacon.

   • Turn off the heat.

5. Fold and finish cooking:

   • Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelette onto the filled side. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cheese is melted.

6. Serve:

   • Gently tilt the pan and slide the omelette onto your plate. Top with the remaining bacon, cheddar cheese, and chopped Italian parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
