Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup smoked brie cheese, cubed
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by cracking eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk eggs thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy, adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown. Remove bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces. Reserve bacon fat in the skillet.
- In the same skillet with reserved bacon fat, sauté sliced mushrooms over medium-high heat until they release their moisture and become golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium-low heat. Add a pat of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan's surface evenly.
- Pour whisked eggs into the buttered skillet, tilting pan to create an even layer. Allow eggs to set slightly, using a spatula to lift edges and let uncooked egg flow underneath.
- When eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top, distribute crumbled bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and cubed smoked brie cheese evenly across one half of the omelet.
- Carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the filled side, creating a half-moon shape. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until cheese begins to melt.
- Slide omelet onto a serving plate, cut in half, and garnish with additional cracked black pepper if desired. Serve immediately while hot and cheese is melted.
Tips
- Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality smoked brie for the best flavor. If you can find it, opt for artisan bacon for a richer taste.
- Egg Whisking: Whisk the eggs thoroughly until frothy to incorporate air, ensuring a light and fluffy omelet.
- Cooking Temperature: Keep the heat at medium-low when cooking the omelet. This allows the eggs to cook evenly without burning.
- Bacon Fat: Don't discard the bacon fat! It adds incredible flavor to the sautéed mushrooms and helps create a beautifully cooked omelet.
- Folding Technique: When folding the omelet, do it gently to avoid breaking it. A silicone spatula works great for this!
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your omelet with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal that feels indulgent yet balanced.
- Add Herbs: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the egg mixture before cooking.With these tips in hand, you’ll be well on your way to mastering this mouthwatering omelet!
