Southwestern Omelette Recipe
Southwestern Omelet
This is an omelet that I truly love to make. It is very hot! You might not be used to something this hot for breakfast and you might want to skip or lower the amount of jalapeno peppers in this recipe.
* 1/8 cup of milk
* 5 large eggs
* 1/2 cup diced tomato
* 1/8 cup black olives
* 1/8 cup chopped onions
* 1/8 cup of chopped jalapenos
* 2 dashes of hot sauce
* 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
* 1 handful shredded cheddar cheese
( I like the 3 cheese packages of shredded cheese)
sour cream and salsa optional *
In a small frying pan I saute the onions, tomatoes, olives, and peppers together, then add the Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. I just kind of brown them a little on at least medium high heat.
While that is cooking and finishing, I then mix the beaten eggs and milk. I then pour the omelet mixture in a buttered or oiled skillet at about medium to medium high heat.
I usually let that cook until it starts to set up. Once its kind of stopped bubbling. I use a spatula to detach the edges of the omelet from the pan, so that when I later flip the omelet, it flips easily.
I will take the skillet by the handle at that moment and roll the pan some to let the liquid part left on top of the cooking omelet to work its way along the edge and down into the pan at the edges of the omelet to get that cooking as well.
Then after its cooked a little more I use the spatula to separate the edges of the omelet away from the pan, once again. I then add my sauteed tomatoes, olives, onion, and peppers on top of the omelet .
I then wait until the omelet is starting to set up good and begins to look cooked and not runny. That's when I add the handful of cheeses and let it melt slightly. I then flip or fold the omelet in half and allow it to cook thoroughly.
How I usually flip the omelet or fold in two, more correctly is by getting a spatula under it and pulling it up and then slipping a very long, flexible serrated knife under it and use the two, to flip it without it tearing. It just takes a little practice. That how I always did it.
Once fully cooked I put it on a large plate and its done!
After you have served the omelet you can add salsa or sour cream depending on your personal taste.
I personally like to add large dollops of sour cream, because it tends to take the bite out of the peppers.
I hope you enjoy this omelet recipe as much as I have over the years! Be sure to have a glass of water handy ! Its hot!
