Instructions:
- Chop the onion finely.
- Crumble the goat cheese if it’s not already crumbled.
- Chop the dill finely.
- Cut the bacon into small pieces.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the bacon pieces and cook until they are crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain the excess fat. Leave a bit of the bacon fat in the pan for flavor.
- In the same pan with the leftover bacon fat, add the finely chopped onion.
- Sauté over medium heat until the onion becomes translucent and soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the onion from the pan and set aside with the bacon.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper, beating a little more to mix in the seasoning.
- Heat a small amount of butter or olive oil in the frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, swirling gently to ensure an even layer.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a few moments. Once the edges start to set, you can gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Sprinkle the cooked bacon, onion, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped dill evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, gently fold it in half using a spatula.
- Cook for another minute or so until the goat cheese is slightly melted and the eggs are cooked through.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with an extra sprinkle of dill if desired.
