Bacon Onion Cheese Omelet

You'll be surprised how well
bacon and onion go together
in the fluffy good omelet.

Ingredients:
4 strips smoked bacon
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/2 onion, peeled and diced
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons cold water
1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 slice process American cheese, diced
1/8 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:
Cook bacon in a skillet over
medium heat until crisp.
Remove with a slotted spoon
to paper towels to drain and cool;
crumble the bacon and set aside.
Melt the butter in a skillet.
Cook and stir the onions in the
butter until tender, about 10 minutes.
Prepare a 10-inch non-stick skillet with
cooking spray and place over a cold burner.
Whisk together the eggs and water;
pour the egg mixture into the cold skillet.
Cover and turn the burner on for medium-low heat.
Cook until steam begins to vent from the skillet.
Remove the lid. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon,
Cheddar cheese, American cheese, salt,
and red pepper over the eggs.
Spread the onions over the eggs.
Gently swirl the skillet in a circular
motion to release the omelet and
slide it onto a plate.
Fold the omelet in half.
Allow the cheese to melt, serve.
