IHOP’s official description: “It’s what’s on the inside that counts. And in this case, it’s bacon. Our omelette+ stuffed with custom cured hickory-smoked bacon with Jack & Cheddar cheese blend & a white cheese sauce. Topped with tomatoes & more bacon.” See the IHOP omelette menu for the full lineup.
The Bacon Count: Inside, Outside, Everywhere
| Bacon Layer | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Inside the omelette | Hickory-smoked strips folded into the eggs — the core |
| On top | More bacon over the tomatoes — the crown |
| In every bite | Double bacon coverage — the promise |
This is a two-layer bacon strategy: bacon inside the fold for flavor in every bite, bacon on top for the visual and the crunch. The hickory-smoked cure is IHOP’s signature — deeper and smokier than standard bacon.
The fresh tomatoes are the smart counterpoint: their acidity cuts through the bacon fat, keeping the plate from becoming one-note. They are not decoration — they are balance.
The Double-Cheese Strategy
Two cheeses, two jobs: the Jack & Cheddar blend melts through the filling for sharp, gooey flavor, while the white cheese sauce drapes over everything for creamy richness. It is cheese as architecture — structure and sauce.
The white cheese sauce is the indulgent touch that separates this from a plain bacon-and-cheese omelette. It makes every bite feel decadent — which, at 1,160 calories, it is.
1,160 Calories: The Bacon Tax
Double bacon plus double cheese has a cost: 1,160 calories, making this one of the heavier omelettes on the menu. Every layer of indulgence is delicious and none of it is light.
The honest framing: this is a treat, not a Tuesday. Order it when bacon is the whole point. To lighten: egg whites trim the base, and a fruit side offsets the richness. But the bacon stays — it is the entire concept. See the nutrition guide for details.
Customization: Your Bacon, Your Rules
- Extra bacon: ask — bacon lovers never say no to more.
- Cheese sauce on the side: control the richness — dip, don’t drown.
- Egg whites: lighter base, same double bacon.
- Extra tomatoes: more acidity to cut the fat.
- Side strategy: fresh fruit is the move — the omelette is rich enough.
- Hot sauce: bacon and heat are natural partners.
Verdict: The Bacon Maximalist
The Bacon Temptation Omelette is exactly what it promises: bacon inside, bacon on top, double cheese, zero restraint. It is the most indulgent omelette IHOP makes.
Order it when: bacon is a food group for you. Order the Colorado Omelette when: you want meat variety beyond bacon.
Temptation, served all day.
