Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 2 bacon slices in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk the 3 eggs with the 2 tbsp parsley, 1 tbsp chives, and 0.25 tsp salt until just combined.

  3. 3

    Melt the 1 tbsp butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it set for 1 minute without stirring.

  4. 4

    As the edges set, gently push them toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow to the edges, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Crumble the bacon over the omelette, fold it in half, and slide onto a plate. Serve hot.
