Omelette Filling

Toast

Arugula Salad

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    While the bacon is cooking, peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water for about 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, crumble the cooked bacon and add the boiled potatoes, white cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Mix until well combined.

Cook the Omelette

  1. 4

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs until fully blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 5

    Cook the Omelette

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add the Filling

    Carefully spoon the bacon and potato mixture onto one half of the omelette. Let it cook for another minute to allow the cheese to melt.

  4. 7

    Fold and Serve

    Gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Slide the omelette onto a plate and keep warm while you prepare the toast.

Prepare the Toast and Salad

  1. 8

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the slices of bread until golden brown. This can be done in a toaster or under a broiler.

  2. 9

    Prepare the Arugula Salad

    In a bowl, toss the arugula with house vinaigrette until lightly coated. Serve as a side with the omelette.
