Recipe - Thursday Night Omelet

6 Strips bacon
1 small Onion; minced
1 small Green pepper; minced
6 Eggs; beaten
One half cup American cheese; minced
Bacon drippings

Fry bacon until crisp; drain on paper towel. Drain off fat in greased
skillet, saut‚ onions and green peppers until soft. Using wire whisk, beat
eggs until fluffy; add salt and pepper to taste. Pour beaten eggs into hot
copper bottom skillet that has been coated with 2 tablespoons bacon
drippings. (Hot pan will set bottom of omelet.) Immediately reduce heat to
low. As the outer edges of omelet set, gently lift with a spatula, allowing
uncooked portions to get to heating surface. When top is a almost done,
sprinkle onions and peppers on half the omelet; top with crumbled bacon.
Lastly, sprinkle on minced cheese. With spatula, fold omelet in half,
folding plain side over filled side, closing in all the stuffing. Heat will
melt the cheese. Serve with buttered toast.
