Ground Beef Omelet

Ground beef omelet is an omelet with a hearty beef twist! I grew up eating this delicious dish thanks to my mom’s cooking in Las Piñas. I’d usually enjoy it with warm, fluffy steamed rice and a splash of banana ketchup. Sometimes, I’d switch things up with sinangag, a garlicky fried rice that pairs perfectly. If I’m craving a bread side, I’d go for either a soft loaf or a fresh pandesal. Anyway, this dish was one of my most-loved protein-packed breakfasts—it’s comfort food at its best!

A Nostalgic Brunch Surprise!

Here’s a fun backstory on how I ended up enjoying my favorite ground beef omelet, even though I’m far from the Philippines. No, I didn’t cook it myself—I just had the pleasure of indulging in it for brunch, thanks to a special visit from the expert cook who used to make it—my mom!

I’m thrilled to have someone cooking for me for a change since I usually handle the kitchen duties—perfect dad and husband responsibilities, noh! Meanwhile, my mom’s been busy recreating our Filipino favorites, from lasagna to nilagang litid ng baka, pork and chicken adobo, and pork sinigang. She’s got more dishes in the works, and I’m eagerly tasting each one—it’s like reliving my childhood nostalgia all over again!
