Ingredients

  • ½ pound ground pork
  • 6 large eggs (3 eggs per omelet)
  • ½ small, sweet onion, finely diced
  • 1 small celery stalks, finely diced
  • ½ small bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • ½ cup of sharp cheddar cheese

  • 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp seasoning salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp thyme

Directions

  1. Dice the sweet onion, celery, bell pepper, and green onion. Shred the sharp cheddar. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. ​

  2. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown ½ pound of ground pork. Season the ground pork with cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook ground pork to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F with a 3-minute rest. Drain any excess grease and set to the side. ​

  3. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsps. of butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper, and green onion. Saute for 3–5 minutes until softened. Add cooked ground pork and stir until vegetables are distributed throughout the meat. Remove from heat (5 minutes). ​

  4. Heat another nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of butter. Pour in 3 beaten eggs and let them cook undisturbed for about 1–2 minutes until they start to set at the edges. Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny in the middle, sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded sharp cheddar evenly across the surface of the omelet. Add half of the mixed ground pork to one side of the omelet. Fold the omelet over the filling and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fully set. Repeat for the second omelet (7 minutes per omelet). ​

  5. Serve warm, with side of your choice.
