How to Make Cajun Omelet

  1. Cook the andouille sausage in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the chopped bell pepper and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning.
  4. Add the cooked andouille sausage and green onions to the skillet with the bell peppers.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  6. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  7. Continue cooking until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Fold the omelet in half and serve immediately.
