Greedy Girl : Meat lover’s omelet

The best way to eat an egg!

This omelette is for all the nitpicky persons out there; the people who don’t eat tomatoes, or onions, or peppers. Instead of enjoying their meals are too busy picking out all the veggies, today we get right to the point; eggs, meat, cheese, done!

It’s quite common for me to make a delicious omelette filled with the works only to see someone removing tomatoes or onions in each bite. I’m not going to lie, I cringe at the sight. Only because I know what a grave disservice they do to themselves as those are the backbone of flavor in an omelette; to each his own. The omlette today would be their ideal, however in order to achieve the flavor with purely meat I decided to use different types that impart different characteristics.

I used a sweet chicken apple sausage, hickory smoked beef sausage and Canadian bacon, each meat bringing something different to the table. In addition the smoked gouda added extra flavor. I thought about using a jalapeno cheddar or an aged cheddar instead but decided a smoked cheese would work with the meats rather than against them. I was right.
