• Beat eggs w/milk, flour, salt & chives. Reheat bacon fat & pour egg mixture into it.
• When the omelet begins to set, sprinkle the crumbled bacon on the top & lift cooked omelet edges w/a fork so the uncooked portion runs underneath. Cont cooking till the eggs are set & the edges golden brown. Fold the omelet & serve hot, cutting the omelet in half to serve 2 hearty appetites or 3 wedges for less hearty appetites.

• Place cooked bacon on paper-towel-lined plate, and blot top with paper towel. When cool, crumble bacon and set aside.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
• With a fork, lightly beat eggs with Italian seasoning. Do not add salt; I don't think pepper is needed, either.
• Heat pan with remaining bacon grease to medium heat. Then pour in egg batter.
• As egg sets, gently push egg batter from pan's side toward 2 inches from center with a spatula, and repeat on other side. Let fluid egg batter fill exposed pan.
• Again, as egg sets, begin 90 degrees from before, push egg batter from pan's side, etc. The idea is to ensure that uncooked egg batter gets exposed to the heat. Try not to end up with all of the egg piled in the center of the pan. :wink:
• As top of egg starts to set, sprinkle crumbled bacon on one half of omelet. Sprinkle parmesan cheese across entire top surface of omelet. If bottom of omelet seems set, but top is not done, put a lid on the pan for about a minute to assist.
• When top has set, turn off heat, turn bacon-less half over to cover bacon half. With spatula, cut in half and serve half on one plate, and other half on another plate.
• Serves two, each is a 3-egg omelet.

• In non-stick skillet, add oil and saute onion for 1 minute then add potatoes and cook over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove potatoes to a plate and set aside.
• Melt butter in the skillet and pour in egg mixture. The eggs should begin to set around the edges almost immediately. Lift edges and tilt skillet to allow uncooked egg to roll under cooked eggs. Continue until eggs are set.
• Sprinkle eggs with cheese and add potatoes to top of omelet then fold eggs over to enclose cheese and potatoes. Remove to a plate.
• At this point, I cut the omelet in half and place on two plates. I sprinkle a bit more cheese over top of omelet, add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of pico de gallo.
• NOTE: I recently read a tip to cut the heat in jalapinos without sacrificing the flavor -- After seeding the peppers place in abowl of hot tap water for 10-20 minutes to soak out pepper oils which hold the heat of the peppers.
