Sausage Pepper and Cheddar Omelet

I love breakfast foods! There are so many different kinds and a million different ways to mix up the traditional go-to recipes. This is one that I made for myself the other morning for breakfast. The best thing about omelets...you can use up those leftovers you have hanging out in the fridge! So go ahead and raid your refrigerator and start cooking. Here's the recipe:


Crack three large eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. Add in 1 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of black pepper and whisk again and set aside. Heat a large skillet on medium/low heat. Put a small pat of butter into the skillet and let it melt. Add in 1/2 of a diced red pepper, 1/4 cup of diced sausage (I used sausage I had already cooked up the day before and had left over!). Saute the peppers and sausage until the peppers soften up a bit. Next, pour your eggs in over top of your peppers and sausage. Rotate the pan so that the eggs runs in between all of the veggies and meat. Cook until you would normally flip the omelet over. Now here's the trick, don't flip! Throw about 1/4 cup of sharp cheddar cheese on top of the gooey part of the omelet, then cover the skillet for another minute or so. This will finish cooking the top of the omelet while melting your cheese at the same time. When the omelet is cooked through, simply slide it out of the skillet onto a plate and fold it over as you do so, this will prevent your omelet from completely falling apart since you've filled it with so many yummy goodies! Serve with your favorite side breakfast items and
ENJOY!
