Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble.
- In the same skillet, add the frozen hashbrowns and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 7–10 minutes. Set aside.
- Whisk the Eggs:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Cook the Omelette:
- In a non-stick frying pan, melt some butter or heat oil over medium heat. Pour in half of the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes until it starts to set around the edges.
- Add Fillings:
- Once the eggs are slightly set but still runny in the center, sprinkle half of the cooked hashbrowns, crumbled bacon, chopped onion, green bell pepper, and half of the shredded cheese on one side of the omelette.
- Fold and Finish Cooking:
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling using a spatula. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Serve Hot:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another omelette. Serve immediately with additional toppings if desired.
