Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 links breakfast sausage
• 0.5 cup bell pepper (assorted colors)
• 0.25 cup onion
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, crack the eggs, add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well mixed and slightly frothy. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sausage links. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across the surface. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to set.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cooked sausage, bell peppers, onion, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press lightly to seal and let cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 7

Slide the omelet carefully onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
