Puffy Omelet with Canadian Bacon Filling & a Giveaway (Closed)

Julie Deily · 315 Comments

Jump to Recipe


We love breakfast for dinner and we love brunch. Who doesn't like brunch? Tell me about someone who doesn't and I just won't understand. The holidays are the perfect time to plan a brunch get together. Everything's better with brunch, isn't that the truth?

There's something about getting up a little later and preparing a brunch or even having breakfast for dinner. I went hunting around on the Pork: Be Inspired website and when I found the recipe for this Puffy Omelet with Canadian bacon, I knew my husband would love it. Bacon has to be his favorite type of pork and with Canadian bacon in second place, this omelet was a hit!

Jill Silverman Hough recommends trying a sparkling wine with pomegranate or cranberry juice with your brunch, the next time you plan one. For more wonderful ideas your holiday meal, visit the National Pork Board. Also, be sure to follow them on twitter and facebook.


Light and fluffy, this omelet is easy to make and pretty versatile. A hand mixer is a must for this recipe, in order to beat the egg whites to a stiff peak.

If you don't have the exact veggies on hand, you can always substitute them. Also, as my husband says, you can't go wrong with Canadian style bacon. So what are you waiting for? Give this omelet a try!

      I already like you on Facebook, and I love pork in a stir fry. Will probably make that New Year’s day.
