I don’t usually post Breakfast recipes, but, when I do, it is normally in the form of a delicious Omelette. Like this one I did a few weeks ago, omelettes are seriously the easiest way to get a whole lot of goodness on one plate.
It is always a “surprise on a plate” for hubby, as I normally use whatever ingredients are leftover in the fridge. It normally consists of cheese, mushrooms and fresh tomato. I love caramelized onion with my omelettes and the addition of crispy bacon bits makes this version a breakfast for champs.
Because bacon fixes everything.
Use your own variety of fresh ingredients, and any cheese goes well with omelettes. I used a Dutch Gouda, which almost reminds me a bit of Swiss Emmental cheese, with a creamy, bitter taste. Combined with the sweet caramelized onion – my sweet vs savoury taste buds were doing summersaults with each bite…
To top it all off, this recipe is carb free and a very appropriate fatty meal for the banters out there. Also, a cup of espresso would be the cherry on top! Enjoy!
