Ingredients
3 large eggs
2 to 3 pre-cooked sausage links, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
2 slices onion, chopped
3 slices tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon Cajun spice blend
2 slices mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon oil or butter for cooking
Directions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Add the sliced sausage, chopped green pepper, chopped onion, chopped tomato, and Cajun spice blend to the egg mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pour the entire egg and vegetable mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly.
Allow the omelet to cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until the bottom is set and beginning to brown. Using a spatula, carefully flip the omelet in sections or all at once if possible. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is lightly browned.
When the egg is nearly set and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F, arrange the mozzarella cheese slices on one half of the omelet. Fold the omelet in half over the cheese and slide onto a plate.
Serve immediately. If desired, accompany with home fries on the side.
Comments
This is a genuine weeknight win for one person, but the 25-minute window is optimistic—sausage browning and omelet technique add a real ten minutes. Ingredients are entirely standard across Charlotte grocers, though you'll want a decent cajun spice blend from Kroger or Harris Teeter rather than the basic McCormick; McCormick will work but lacks depth. The cost per serving lands around $3 to $3.50 with mid-range sausage, and leftovers don't travel well, making this a same-night, one-person dish that doesn't scale or keep. It's forgiving enough for a weeknight but demands active attention at the pan—not a set-it-and-forget-it dinner.
