Kale and Sausage Omelet
Description
The recipe starts by browning ground sausage in a skillet, then setting it aside. Eggs are whisked with salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese and poured into a medium non-stick skillet heated with coconut oil. As the eggs begin to set, chopped red bell pepper, kale, green onions, and browned sausage are added to half the omelet. After cooking a few more minutes, the omelet is folded over the filling and cooked briefly more to meld flavors and melt the cheese.
This method produces an omelet with a tender texture from the eggs, a savory depth from the sausage, mild sweetness from the red peppers, and the earthiness of kale. The coconut oil adds a subtle richness and prevents sticking. Serving with extra green onions or avocado complements the flavors and provides freshness.
The recipe cautions against overcooking or burning the omelet to maintain softness. The dish works well for a hearty breakfast or light meal incorporating protein and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 oz ground sausage browned
- 2 egg
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- ⅛ cup cheddar cheese finely shredded
- ⅛ red bell pepper chopped
- ¼ cup kale chopped
- green onions chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Brown sausage in a small skillet. When done, move to a plate.
- In a medium non-stick skillet, add 1 tsp coconut oil and heat over medium heat.
- In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the finely shredded cheddar cheese and stir. Pour the eggs carefully into the preheated pan. Cook until the edges have begun to set, about 2 - 3 minutes. Add the chopped red bell pepper, kale, green onions and sausage to one-half of the omelet. Let it cook for another 1 - 2 minutes. Fold the other half over the veggies, and let it cook for 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook or burn your omelet.
- Run a small rubber spatula around the edges of the eggs so as to release it from the pan and then slide it onto a plate. Sprinkle with some chopped green onions and you can also serve it with sliced avocado. Enjoy!
