Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat a 12-inch Dutch oven and grease it with margarine.
- Heat until a drop of water sizzles in the oven.
- Break eggs into a bowl and beat lightly with water.
- Pour eggs into the prepared Dutch oven and cook over low heat.
- Add cooked and crumbled bacon and slices of Cheddar cheese on top of the eggs.
- Cook until the edges turn white.
- Add a small amount of water to the eggs and cover with a lid to hold steam.
- While eggs are cooking, spread salsa on the toasted English muffin.
- Once eggs are done, place a fried egg on top of the muffin.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier omelet, beat the eggs thoroughly and consider adding a splash of milk or cream. If you prefer a healthier option, you can substitute turkey bacon for the crumbled bacon. Adjust the cheese type to your liking; feta or pepper jack can add a nice twist. Ensure the pan is properly preheated to prevent sticking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the omelet mixture the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just cook the eggs fresh in the morning for best results. The cooked omelet rounds can also be made ahead and reheated as needed.
What can I use instead of margarine?
You can easily substitute butter or olive oil for margarine in this recipe. Both options will add a rich flavor to the dish. If you're looking for a dairy-free alternative, coconut oil works well too.
