12-15baby potatoes
¼sweet yellow oniondiced
10mushroomssliced
4eggsfor two omelets
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepperto taste
2-3green onionsdiced
Cheddar cheeseshredded
Instructions
Boil the baby potatoes in a small saucepan of water for 4-5 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the water and cut the potatoes into quarters once they have cooled.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in an oven proof skillet then remove it from the pan once it's crispy. Set on paper towels to drain the grease then chop into crumbles. Set aside.
Add the diced potatoes, mushrooms, and sweet yellow onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook on medium-high for 10 minutes or until the potatoes and mushrooms are golden brown and the onion is tender. Remove from pan and set aside.
Clean the skillet out with a paper towel then spray it with cooking spray. Turn the stove to medium-low and turn the broiler on in your oven.
Crack two eggs into a bowl and whisk until very well blended; season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and swirl so the pan is evenly coated with the egg.
Once your egg is starting to set, sprinkle some cheese on top of half of the egg mixture then spoon on some of the potato and mushroom filling then top with green onions.
Move the skillet to the oven and place it on the top rack (don't put the handle in the oven if it's not oven safe) and let the broiler cook the top part of the egg, it takes only 30 seconds or so.
Remove the pan and flip the other part of the egg mixture on top of the potato mixture. Slide onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy.
