Omelet Ingredients

Hashbrowns and Toast

Method

Preparing the Omelet

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cook the Omelet

    In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to allow the eggs to spread evenly. Cook until the edges begin to set.

  4. 4

    Add Fillings

    Once the omelet is mostly set, sprinkle the cooked ground beef mixture, cheddar cheese, black olives, and diced tomatoes over one half of the omelet.

  5. 5

    Fold and Finish

    Carefully fold the omelet in half over the fillings and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully cooked. Slide onto a plate.

Preparing Hashbrowns and Toast

  1. 6

    Cook Hashbrowns

    In a separate skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the frozen hashbrowns in an even layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.

  2. 7

    Toast Bread

    While the hashbrowns are cooking, toast your choice of bread, English muffin, or biscuits according to package instructions or until golden brown.
