Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely dice the onion.
- Crumble the feta cheese.
- Chop the bacon strip into small pieces.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
- Leave a small amount of bacon fat in the skillet for cooking the onions and eggs.
- In the same skillet, add the finely diced onions.
- Sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a bowl, crack the two eggs and beat them until well mixed.
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to the eggs, and mix again.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the sautéed onions.
- Swirl the skillet gently to spread the eggs evenly.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until they start to set around the edges.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and cooked bacon evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Continue cooking for another minute or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
- Gently fold the omelet in half over the filling side.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the eggs to cook through.
- Remove from heat once the omelet is fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like chopped chives or parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bacon and Feta Omelet!
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy to add a wonderful crunch to your omelet.
- If you prefer a fluffier omelet, consider adding a splash of milk or water to the beaten eggs.
- Don't over-stuff the omelet with ingredients as this can make it difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Allow the feta cheese to slightly melt inside the omelet for a creamy consistency.
- Cook the onion until translucent to bring out its sweetness and reduce its sharpness.
