Does anyone else just crave cheeseburgers at breakfast time? Me too. And this Cheeseburger Omelette is the perfect way to incorporate cheeseburger flavors into a hearty breakfast! 

You just chop up leftover cheeseburger patties, sauté them with sweet, chopped onion, and load that into a cheesy omelette! This is definitely your breakfast dreams come true…and it’s ready in just 15 minutes!

What you need to make this recipe

• Butter – used to cook the burger patty and onion.
• Cooked Cheeseburger Patty – any leftover burgers you have will work! If you don’t have cooked burgers, you can use ground beef, just be sure to cook and drain it.
• Onion – dice into small pieces so you don’t 
• Eggs – you’ll use two eggs for this recipe. If you use more than that, you’ll want to adjust the seasonings and the other ingredients.
• Water – you can also use milk for an even creamier texture.
• Worcestershire Sauce – whisked with eggs to add an extra kick of flavor.
• Salt and Pepper – I keep it simple with salt and pepper but any seasonings will work.
• Shredded Cheese – shred your own cheese for the best texture. Any cheese will work!
• Ketchup or 1000 Island Dressing – either are delicious to serve with the omelet!

How to make a cheeseburger omelette

First, heat a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the burger patty and break it up into small pieces. Remove the beef and onion and set aside.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and Worcestershire sauce until frothy. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the edges are set. Cook until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly wet. 

Add the burger and onion to the center of the omelet, fold it over, and sprinkle with cheese. Cover and let the cheese melt.

Turn off the heat, then season with salt and pepper. Serve with ketchup or 1000 island dressing and other cheeseburger fixings!

Do you add milk to an omelette?

You can if you want, but it’s not necessary. I whisk water with the eggs to thin them out slightly and it works out great. If you prefer to use milk, feel free!

Can you use another meat?

Totally! You can make an omelet using any leftover cooked meat like shredded chicken, turkey, ham, bacon, you name it! 

If you don’t have any leftover cooked burger patties, you can use ground beef. Just cook it with the onion, then drain the excess grease before you make the omelet.

Can you add veggies?

Absolutely! You can add whatever veggies you like, just make sure you cook them along with the onion and hamburger patty first. 

Make sure you don’t overload your omelet with fillings or it will break.

How to store

Cooked omelets are definitely best right away and I doubt you’ll have leftovers. However, if you do have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. 

To reheat, warm on low on the stove with a little oil until heated through.
