This recipe was developed as a result of my partnership with Land O’Lakes, Inc. I’m pleased to be working with them to work toward ending hunger through their Pin a Meal: Give a Meal program with Feeding America. Each “pin” from this post will generate a meal for 10 hungry families. The recipe concept and opinions are all my own.
My husband is a smart guy. He hasn’t accumulated the nicknames The Nutty Professor, MacGuyver, and The Evil Genius for nothing. If something is capable of being fixed, he can do it. He is the original “think outside the box” guy. He comes up with solutions that most folks would never even flirt with. And so, when I was brainstorming for “National Grilled Cheese Month” and he said, “Why don’t you do an omelet grilled cheese?” I listened.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/8 cup green onion
- 1/4 cup bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1/4 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 slices colby jack cheese
Steps
- In a mixing bowl, add beaten eggs, peppers, cheese, green onion, bacon, spinach, salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
- Cut out the center of the bread slices, leaving only the crust.
- Heat butter in a large nonstick pan. Place bread slices in pan and fill each piece with egg mixture. Cook about 3 minutes and flip. Cook an additional 3 minutes. Add cheese to 1 slice of bread. Top with remaining slice and place a lid over the pan to melt cheese. Remove from heat and serve.
