Chili and Cheese Omelet
Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe contributed by our very own VP of Anger-management, Chris Lytle. There’s a 24-hour diner near our home called The Hollywood Grill. I rarely order anything except their Texas Omelet. For our “Omelet Day” lunch, I did a take-off on it.
Serving Size: Serves 1
Ingredients:
- 3 or 4 eggs
- 2 Tbl cream or unsweetened coconut milk
- ¼ cup Amy’s organic chili (or your own recipe)
- 1-2 oz of sharp Cheddar cheese, cubed or grated
- two slices of Neuske’s bacon (optional)
- 4 Tbl coconut oil
- 1 medium shallot sliced thin (optional garnish. You could use Vidalia onion, too)
Instructions:
Put 2 Tbl of Coconut oil in a small frying pan on low to medium heat. Add shallots and cook until they start to caramelize and even get a little crispy. They make a nice garnish. Remove from pan and set aside.
Simmer chili in a small sauce pan just to heat it.
Fry 2 slices of Nueske’s bacon over medium heat until crispy. Using a knife, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Put eggs in a small or medium mixing bowl.
Add cream.
Add crushed bacon.
Whisk mixture for 30-60 seconds.
Pour egg mixture into a clean frying pay into which you’ve added the other 2 Tbl of coconut oil
Keep lifting edges of egg batter with a spatula to let uncooked eggs get to the bottom of pan. I hope you have made omelets before because this is the delicate part.
After most of the omelet is cooked, I like to flip it over in the pan like they do in at hotel buffets. A flick of the wrist will do it. Practice this over the sink and don’t do it at all if you only have 3 eggs. But you look really cool and accomplished if you can flip an omelet in the pan. (Oil helps). You can also loosen the bottom with a spatula before you attempt the flip. (This is totally optional and just for show.)
Once you have flipped your omelet add half of the chili and all of the cheese.
Slide omelet onto plate and fold in half as you do so.
Garnish the top of the omelet with the rest of the chili and add crispy shallots.
Enjoy!
Cheers,

Spiral Ham with Apricot Mustard Glaze
The sweetness of the apricot jam combined with the mild bite of the fresh, cracked black pepper corns and the smokiness of the ham make for a savory combination of flavors.
Dauphinoise Potatoes (aka Potato Gratin)
This is a wonderful potato casserole from the southeast part of France. Works great on a buffet too if you like room temp potatoes or have a chafing dish. For the LOWEST glycemic index, make this…
Cincinnati Chili (EASY)
This is a famous chili that probably should not even be called a chili. It was invented by two brothers who emigrated from Europe in the 1920’s. Of course, they lived in Cincinnati. When finished…
