📝 Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 whole wheat English muffins
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices cooked bacon
  • 3/4 cup guacamole

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Cook the veggies: Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a clean bowl and set aside. Wash out the skillet.
  2. 2Make the omelet: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch or two of salt, and whisk vigorously, until the eggs are combined and uniform. Heat the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, use a small spatula to spread it out over the bottom and sides of the pan.
  3. 3Pour the eggs into the skillet and scatter the peppers and onions evenly over the top. Let cook for 1 minute. Once the eggs start to set around the edges, use a small spatula to carefully lift one edge of the omelet a bit, tilting the pan, so that the wet eggs can run over the edge and underneath the omelet. Repeat this a few more times, around the edges of the omelet, until no more liquid eggs are left on top of the omelet.
  4. 4Reduce the heat to low and let the omelet continue cooking until the top is mostly set. If needed, you can cover the pan with a lid to help the top cook through. Transfer omelet to a plate or cutting board, fold into thirds by folding both sides over the center, and cut into 4 pieces.
  5. 5Assemble the sandwiches: Separate the English muffins in half and toast. Assemble each sandwich with a slice of cheese, ¼ of the omelet, a slice of bacon (cut in half) and guacamole. Serve immediately. (If desired, you can place the sandwiches in a 350° F oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese. Add the guacamole after warming.) See note below for how to freeze the breakfast sandwiches.
