How to Make Bay Of Pigs Omelet
- Whisk together eggs, milk, and salt in a bowl.
- Cook bacon in a small skillet over medium-high heat until almost crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
- In the same skillet, add the reserved bacon grease and saute the onions over medium heat until translucent.
- Add the tomatoes and shrimp to the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the filling from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare your hollandaise sauce (if making from scratch).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in an omelet pan over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the pan. Tilt the pan to spread evenly.
- As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently push the cooked edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When the omelet is almost set, add 1/4 of the bacon and shrimp filling to one half of the omelet.
- Fold the omelet in half over the filling.
- Top with a slice of cheddar cheese and add a teaspoon of water to the pan. Cover the pan for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
- Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Drizzle with 1/4 cup of hollandaise sauce, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with a big pinch of green onions.
- Repeat steps 7-14 for the remaining omelets.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bay of Pigs Omelet!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
