How to Make Omelet For Two

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook bacon in an 8-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving bacon grease.
  3. Wipe out skillet, leaving a thin film of bacon grease. Add butter to the skillet. Add diced potatoes and sliced onions; cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and potatoes are tender but firm.
  4. Stir in minced jalapeno (if using) and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  6. Stir in scallions and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Add cooked bacon and potato mixture to the skillet.
  8. Pour egg mixture over the potato and bacon mixture.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed and the eggs are almost set in the center.
  10. Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheddar cheese and bake for another minute, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Serve immediately from the skillet.
