My son loves omelets & I created this one for him years ago. I made one for him this morning which reminded me to post it. As he has grown so has the omelet. He's now 26, so its man sized! You can adjust it to your liking. I downsize it when I make one for me. I do not add salt, as the salt in the bacon & the cheeses tends to be more than enough for us. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! This would do well not only pan fry but you could also take the cooked filling add to cake pan, add egg mixture, stir & bake at 350. You can eat it with cheese or without.

I didn't get a picture of the one that was made this morning as my son was in a rush. I did find this picture on the web that is a pretty good representation of what it does look like before cheese added & folded. Thanks to chefcrika blogspot.

Step 5

Now evenly pour egg mix over the mixture in fry pan and stir it just once quickly to get egg to the bottom of the pan as well. Turn pan down to low and cover. Cook until egg mix is no longer runny. Add cheese to half of the omelet and fold in half. Let sit for a minute or two to melt cheese and serve. Enjoy!
