How to Make Spicy Cajun Omelet
- Heat 1/3 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium sauté pan over high heat.
- Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Sear until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes), then add 2 tablespoons of dry white wine and cook for 1-2 minutes, until almost all liquid has evaporated.
- Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until softened and releasing juices (3-4 minutes).
- Add 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
- Continue to sauté for 10-15 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, mushrooms, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme.
- Season with additional salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of water to create a fluffier omelet.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in an omelet pan (or nonstick skillet) over medium heat.
- Pour half of the egg mixture into the hot pan. As the edges begin to set, gently push the cooked eggs towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Once the eggs are mostly set, spoon half of the vegetable mixture down the center of the omelet. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of shredded smoked cheese.
- Gently fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a plate.
- Repeat steps 12-14 with the remaining egg mixture, vegetables, and cheese.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
