12 Egg Ironman Omelet

Once upon a time, every location of the @brokenyolkcafe offered a giant 12 egg chili & cheese omelet that was part of the Ironman Challenge. You had one hour to eat the omelet, two massive biscuits, and a side of home fries to win a free meal. It was interesting because the omelet varies slightly from location to location.

Nowadays, some locations have stopped offering the challenge. It was a cool piece of history because it was featured on the classic Man v Food. Honestly, it was one of the first challenges I ever attempted (back in 2009) and it was legitimately difficult. It was the only food challenge I attempted with my mom in attendance. So it's a nice one to look back upon. Would you attempt it?

I’m not sure if I should call this an omelet or fried egg—in Vietnam, we call it "fried egg." Either way, the deliciousness stays the same! 😋 It takes less than 30 minutes to make—more like 20 minutes max. And it’s so good! Ingredients: * 2 eggs * 1 tbsp water * 1 green onion sprig
