Ingredients

  • Servings: 1
  • 3 eggs, any size or 3 egg substitute
  • 3 teaspoons water
  • 2 slices canadian bacon, chopped (i use pre-cooked)
  • 1 large ripe roma tomato, chopped (or 2 small ones)

  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • sea salt (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for heart benefits)

Recipe

  • 1 beat eggs and water together in a bowl.
  • 2 add salt (i don't use salt due to the saltiness of the canadian bacon, but other people in my family want more) and pepper to egg mixture.
  • 3 heat oil in frying pan or omelet pan over medium heat until bubbly.
  • 4 pour in eggs and let cook until partly set on bottom, do not flip eggs over.
  • 5 spoon canadian bacon, tomatoes, basil, onions or onion powder, and cheese on one half of the pan and flip empty half of eggs over the tomato mixture.
  • 6 flip entire omelet over and cook until eggs are set.
  • 7 note: if you're using canadian bacon that has not been pre-cooked fry it in the same pan you will use for the omelet before adding the evoo(unless you're using one of those fancy omelet pans, which i don't).
