Denver Omelet
Apr 06, 2024 02:22 PM
The Denver omelet is a classic diner order, especially with a side of hash browns or toast. Piled high with ham, onion, bell pepper, and cheese, it's a meal in and of itself. And while there is nothing wrong with diner food, it's also an easy breakfast dish to make at home and customize according to your own taste.
Like your breakfasts spicy? Add some diced jalapeño. Only have bacon, or dare I say it, Spam on hand? Dice it up and swap it out for the ham. And while cheddar is the traditional choice, any melty cheese will do.
This recipe makes one big omelet that will easily feed two people. But feel free to double it and make two big omelets for a crowd of four to six. Likewise, feel free to halve it for a party of one—just use a smaller pan. Serve with a salad and bread for a complete meal.
