Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and add the butter. Heat over medium-low heat until melted and slightly bubbly, but not browned.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press lightly to seal the edges.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the omelet is fully set and the cheese has melted.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
