Cheesy Bacon And Potato Omelet Recipes

CRISPY CHEESE AND BACON POTATOES

Steps:

• COOK THE BACON: Spread the bacon strips out across a large rimmed baking sheet pan and place on the middle rack of a COLD oven. Set the temperature to 400 degrees. Set a timer for 16 minutes and check the bacon. Remove it from the oven when it is as crisp or crunchy as you like. I remove ours at 18 minutes and it's a great balance of chewy crunch. If you like your bacon crispy enough to crumble, you will probably want to cook it another minute past that.
• COOK THE POTATOES: While the bacon is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. There should be 2-3 tablespoons of bacon grease left on the sheet pan. (If there is more than that, drain off a bit.) Put the potatoes on the pan and toss with tongs to thoroughly coat them in the bacon grease. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, stir well and bake an additional 20 minutes. Stir again, making sure that none of the potatoes are sticking to the tray. Bake another 15 minutes.
• Chop the bacon into small pieces. Remove the potatoes from the oven, stir again and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and chopped bacon. Return the tray to the oven and bake an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Top with sliced green onions just before serving. Enjoy!

CHEESY BACON AND POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• Cook bacon in medium skillet on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet to drain, reserving drippings in skillet. Add potatoes, onions and garlic to drippings; cook 10 to 12 min. or until tender and golden brown, stirring frequently.
• Place potato mixture in large bowl. Add bacon, eggs, 1/2 cup cheese and pepper; mix well.
• Heat same skillet on high heat. Return potato mixture to skillet; cook on low heat 12 min. or until egg mixture is almost set.
• Slide omelet onto dinner plate. Place skillet upside-down over omelet; carefully turn plate and skillet over to flip omelet. Top with remaining cheese; cook 3 min. or until cheese is melted and center of omelet is set. Sprinkle with parsley.

BACON AND CHEDDAR OMELET

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, turning as needed, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain; let cool slightly, then crumble.
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and salt until frothy. Make omelet, adding olive oil or butter to heated pan; fill with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

POTATO AND CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a frying pan.
• When hot, add potato and cook until golden-brown and crusty on all sides.
• Beat up eggs in a small bowl with very little salt (the cheese has plenty) and freshly ground pepper.
• Lower heat of stove, add eggs to pan and give them a good stir, a couple of times, bringing up cooked eggs from bottom, but redistributing uncooked eggs and potatoes.
• Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
• Let cook until golden-brown on bottom.
• Run spatula down center, and carefully fold one half over the other creating a half-moon (sometimes you don't get a perfect half-moon, but it still tastes good anyway!).
• Turn off heat and let omelette sit in pan for 30 seconds to a minute (depending on how well you want your eggs done) and then carefully turn over and allow 30 more seconds.
• Allow to cool about 4-5 minutes before tucking in (this seems to allow the flavours to blend better).

CANADIAN BACON AND POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, egg whites, canadian bacon, cilantro, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In non-stick skillet, add oil and saute onion for 1 minute then add potatoes and cook over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove potatoes to a plate and set aside.
• Melt butter in the skillet and pour in egg mixture. The eggs should begin to set around the edges almost immediately. Lift edges and tilt skillet to allow uncooked egg to roll under cooked eggs. Continue until eggs are set.
• Sprinkle eggs with cheese and add potatoes to top of omelet then fold eggs over to enclose cheese and potatoes. Remove to a plate.
• At this point, I cut the omelet in half and place on two plates. I sprinkle a bit more cheese over top of omelet, add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of pico de gallo.
• NOTE: I recently read a tip to cut the heat in jalapinos without sacrificing the flavor -- After seeding the peppers place in abowl of hot tap water for 10-20 minutes to soak out pepper oils which hold the heat of the peppers.
