Make Ahead Spicy Omelets

My husband has never been one to have to eat breakfast before heading off to work because he is in a hurry.  I usually keep breakfast bars on hand but those get old fast!  With this being said I try to come up with something different for his breakfast every so often.  So a few months ago I decided to try making omelets and freezing them.  Well it worked out great and he loves them when he remembers to put them in the oven before getting ready, lol!  This recipe is my husbands favorite but you could use just about anything. 


Ingredients
1 pkg bacon
1 dozen eggs
1 quart bag mixed sweet peppers & jalapeno's with seeds
16 oz fresh grated pepper jack cheese
1 stick of butter
Paula Dean Seasoning


Cook bacon as directed  and crumble.  Chop sweet peppers and jalapenos to fill quart size bag. Grate fresh pepper jack cheese.  I usually prepare the bacon, peppers, and cheese the day before.  Have 3 eggs mixed in small bowl.  Melt butter in small nonstick pan on medium heat.  Add a handful of peppers and season with Paula Dean Season.  Stir consistently about 2 minutes, then add crumbled bacon and stir together another minute or so.  Pour in eggs and cook until top begins to puff up or have bubbles.  Place cheese on one half of omelet and fold opposite side over to close omelet.  Let cook about 1 minute then flip to opposite side cooking another minute.  Remove from pan, place on plate, and put plate in freezer.  Begin cooking another omelet!  As you are making omelets you'll need to cut previously made ones in half before frozen, but you want them to be cooled and firm before cutting.  Place them in freezer gallon bag once cut in half. 


If preparing all ingredients in one day this usually takes about 2 to 3 hours.  I usually end up with 8 sometimes 10 half omelets, lasting 2 to 3 weeks for my husbands breakfast.  To reheat these for breakfast you should take one from freezer, wrap in foil and place in fridge the night before to allow some thawing.  In the morning preheat over to 375 or 400, depending on how fast you want ready.  Heat omelet for 10 to 15 minutes.  If frozen you will have to heat for 20-30 minutes.
