CANADIAN BACON AND POTATO OMELET



Canadian Bacon and Potato Omelet image

This omelet is based on a recipe I saw in Redbook magazine that was a take on IHOP's Country Omelet. This version is now mine, lol. Theoretically, this is one serving but it served the two of us just fine.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup chopped Canadian bacon (or bacon bits or sausage crumbles)
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup diced potato (like frozen Southern style)
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream
pico de gallo

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.

COUNTRY FRENCH OMELET (BACON & POTATO FRITTATA) RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Country French Omelet (Bacon & Potato Frittata) Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon good olive oil
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup (1-inch-diced) unpeeled Yukon Gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof omelet pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned but not crisp. Take the bacon out of the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate. Place the potatoes in the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until very tender and browned, tossing occasionally to brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon to the same plate with the bacon. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together with a fork. After the potatoes are removed, pour the fat out of the pan and discard. Add the butter, lower the heat to low, and pour the eggs into the hot pan. Sprinkle the bacon, potatoes, and chives evenly over the top and place the pan in the oven for about 8 minutes, just until the eggs are set. Slide onto a plate, divide in half, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat before adding the eggs.
  • Whisk the eggs and milk together until they are well blended.
  • Add the bacon and potatoes to the skillet and cook until the bacon is crispy and the potatoes are tender.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
  • Fold the omelet in half and serve immediately.
  • Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired.

Conclusion:

The bacon potato omelet is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is packed with protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, making it a complete and satisfying meal.
