1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced yellow bell pepper
1/4 cup diced orange bell pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh
parsley
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup Scotch whiskey

1/4 cup shredded Gouda cheese
1/4 cup salsa
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh

Directions to make Gourmet Hangover Omelet,
Place the turkey bacon in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat. Cook for about 30 seconds until the grease starts to render
from the turkey. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook for a few
minutes until the aroma of the garlic mellows and the turkey has
fully cooked. Stir in the green, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers,
then add the basil, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne
pepper. Cook and stir until the peppers begin to soften, about 3
minutes. Pour in the Scotch, and simmer until evaporated. Scrape
the pepper mixture into a bowl, and keep warm.
Return the skillet to the stove over medium-low heat. Whisk
together the eggs and five-spice powder until smooth. Pour into the
skillet, and stir briefly until the egg begins to coagulate. Sprinkle
with the Monterey Jack cheese and Gouda cheese. Continue
cooking until the cheese begins to melt, then place the pepper
mixture onto the omelet in a strip running down the center. Fold the
sides of the omelet over the filling, and slide onto a plate. Cut the
omelet in half, and dot each serving with salsa and sour cream.
Sprinkle with chives to serve.
