Brussels Sprouts Spicy N Cheesy Omelet

A few months ago, I'd bought some frozen brussels sprouts (supposedly healthful veggies). Didn't seem too tasty in the first two recipes I tried—slightly bitter. I then tried making a 2-egg omelet with loads of cheese, some diced chiles, salsa, cumin, and cooked sprouts. Bingo! The sprouts became part of a delivery system for the other flavors.

Google results for "brussels sprouts recipe" provided q/a that warmed my heart—"How do you get the bitterness out of brussel [sic] sprouts?". Short answer—"Add fat". Longer answer is at "13 Ways to Make Brussels Sprouts More Delicious Than Ever".

Brussels sprouts are known for having a bitter flavor. Using a bit of fat either when cooking or just before serving can help remove some of that. Well, it doesn’t remove the bitterness. What it does is coat the tongue (and taste buds) lightly making the bitter less easy to detect.

The article advocates additional suggestions. One that I'd taken to heart without having first knowing about cheese.

Cheese is fatty and it’s also salty so it totally helps with the whole bitterness problem. Salty and/or creamy cheeses are your best bet.

For my fats ingredients, I used spray oil and added lots of cheese. The salsa and chiles are additional distractors.
