How to Make Savory French Omelet
- Fry 4 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and crumble; set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Add 1 medium potato, peeled and thinly sliced, and 1/2 leek, thinly sliced and washed, to the skillet.
- Sauté until potatoes are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon.
- Set the potato and bacon mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
- Stir in the sautéed potato and bacon mixture and 1/4 cup of grated Gruyère cheese.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet.
- Cook, gently lifting the edges of the omelet with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until the underside is lightly browned and the top is still slightly moist but set, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley over the top.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate using a broad spatula.
- Garnish with a parsley sprig.
- (Optional) For individual servings, cook 4 smaller omelets using the same method, adjusting cooking time as needed.
