How to Make My Favorite Omelet

  1. Cook bacon until crispy. Set aside, reserving about 1 slice for garnish. Crumble the rest.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium heat.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon of milk until light and frothy.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the hot skillet. Tilt the pan to evenly distribute the eggs.
  5. Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon and other desired fillings over one half of the omelet.
  6. Once the edges begin to set and the top is mostly cooked, use a spatula to gently fold the unfilled half of the omelet over the filling. A thin, flexible spatula works best.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, or until the filling is heated through and the eggs are cooked to your liking. For a drier omelet, cook a little longer.
  8. Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
  9. Garnish with the reserved bacon slice and any remaining desired fillings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
