IHOP Spicy Poblano Omelette Recipe

This spicy poblano omelette is exactly what I want when I need a hearty breakfast with a little kick!
The secret to great poblano peppers is charring them well enough to bring out their natural depth while keeping them slightly firm.
I always roast them directly over a flame or in a hot skillet, turning them until they blister on all sides.
After steaming under a towel for a few minutes, the skins slip right off, and the peppers are ready to chop.
The mix of melted cheese, sautéed onions, and crispy bacon gives each bite a mix of smoky, salty, and creamy textures.

Ingredients
  
  • 1 Poblano Pepper
  • 1 Serrano Pepper
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 3 tbsp Sour Cream
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 cup Shredded Beef or Pulled Pork or Chicken warmed
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese
Instructions
 
  • Roast the poblano pepper directly over an open flame or under the broiler until the skin is blistered.
  • Remove from the heat and place in a paper bag for 10 minutes.
  • Peel the skin off the poblano and slice into strips.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Ensure the mixture is thoroughly combined for a fluffy consistency.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour the egg mixture into the pan.
  • Cook until the edges begin to set, then add roasted poblano, serrano pepper, shredded beef, and cheese.
  • Fold one side of the omelette over the filling and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • This step helps to melt the cheese and heat the ingredients thoroughly.
  • Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with avocado slices and a dollop of sour cream.
  • Enjoy the dish while hot for the best flavor.
