Notes
This is a wonderful puffy, cheesy omelet studded with chunks of cooked sausage that is not only good for breakfast or brunch, but would make a great dinner entree as well. The avocado slices are the perfect side for this dish. Full of protein and flavor.
Jarlsberg is originally a Norwegian cheese, but it also is produced in Ohio and Ireland with their permission. It is semi-firm which is good for shredding, is buttery and nutty in flavor. Very easy to find in most supermarkets.
This is a dish that can be prepped ahead of time as it is a baked, not a stove top, omelette. Puffs up beautifully. All the cheese gives this omelet a nice brown crust with a very soft, creamy inside.
