Mexican Sausage Omelet image

This was literally a random concoction I made with what items I had around. My Mexican sausage omelet combines the sweetness of the peppers mixed with the warmth from the seasonings, sausage, and jalapeno to create a nice flavor! Enjoy! Garnish with fresh tomato and green onion. Top with salsa verde, if desired.

Time 40m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ pound pork sausage
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon Mexican chili powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
½ yellow bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
½ medium onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
6 eggs, divided
3 dashes half-and-half, divided
3 tablespoons butter, divided
½ cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese, or to taste, divided

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, chili powder, and paprika. Cook and stir until sausage is halfway browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno pepper. Saute until sausage is no longer pink and peppers are slightly softened, about 5 minutes more. Drain and discard grease; transfer sausage mixture to a bowl.
  • Whisk 2 eggs with a dash of half-and-half in a bowl. Wipe the same skillet clean; add 1 tablespoon butter and heat over medium-low heat. Add eggs. Cook until edges start to harden, 1 to 2 minutes. Lift the omelet with a spatula as the center rises; tilt the skillet so that uncooked eggs run to the center of the pan.
  • Sprinkle cheese over the omelet; top half with 1/3 of the sausage mixture. Flip over to fold and cook until set, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer omelet to a plate.
  • Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining eggs, half-and-half, butter, and sausage mixture to complete the remaining 2 omelets.
