How to Make Sausage Potato And Cheese Omelet

  1. Crumble 1/2 pound breakfast sausage into a 10-inch nonstick skillet.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside in a medium bowl.
  4. Leave 1 teaspoon of sausage drippings in the skillet.
  5. Add 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, to the skillet.
  6. Cover and cook over low heat until onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add 1 cup diced potatoes (about 1 medium potato) to the skillet and stir to coat with drippings.
  8. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 6-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Turn potatoes with a spatula, cover, and cook until edges brown and potatoes are tender, another 6-8 minutes.
  10. Season potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange potatoes evenly in the skillet.
  11. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  12. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the cheese.
  13. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk.
  14. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the sausage, potato, and cheese in the skillet.
  15. Cook covered over medium heat until eggs are set, about 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  16. Let the omelet rest for a few minutes before cutting into wedges and serving. Enjoy!
