My kids love this omelet.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can chili with beans or 2 cups homemade chili
1 (8 ounce) package 3-cheese shredded Mexican blend cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large eggs
sour cream (optional)

Directions

Heat chili about 5 minutes. For an extra-cheesy omelet, stir in a handful or 2 of the cheese.
2
While this is cooking, heat an 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter.
3
Beat the eggs and pour into the pan. Cook until the egg forms a solid yellow circle.
4
Cover half of the omelet with the chili mixture, reserving 1/4 cup.
5
Add a layer of cheese, reserving 1/4 cup.
6
Fold the omelet and top with the remaining chili and cheese.
7
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with a large dollop of sour cream, if desired.

What a great idea! We love chili and enjoyed this for breakfast this morning. However, the ingredient amounts seemed pretty far off to me - too much chili & cheese for not enough eggs. I made a 4-egg omelet in a 10" pan and still couldn't reasonably use up all the chili & cheese. The inside was as full as I could get it, and I smothered the outside with more chili & cheese when I served it up - and we still had a spoonful of chili and about a third of the cheese left over. So I think the amount of chili & cheese might work better for 2 3-egg omelets or a similar amount of eggs.

This made a great and hearty omelet! I used a little less chili than called for and included the optional sour cream. Had this as "breakfast for dinner" and we all enjoyed it - thanks for sharing!

Very good omelet. I made this in my microwave omelet pan and added a few green onions on top. I'll bet that some chopped tomato would be good on this too. Thanks bmcnichol for a great lunch.
