French Country Omelette

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unpeeled potatoes, cut into 2.5cm cubes
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 3 thick slices bacon, cut into 2.5cm pieces.
• 5 large eggs
• 3 tbsp. milk
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
2. In a 25cm oven-safe omelette pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3-5 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is golden brown but not crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate.
3. Add the potatoes to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender and golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the plate with the bacon.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. After removing the potatoes from the pan, drain the fat. Add the butter, reduce the heat to low, and pour the eggs into the hot pan. Sprinkle the bacon, potatoes, and chives evenly over the top and bake for about 8 minutes, until the omelet is set. Transfer to a plate, cut in half, and serve hot.
