American-Style Bacon and Spinach Omelette

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, stems removed and discarded, leaves coarsely chopped
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, optional

Method

1. 1Cook the chopped bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
2. 2Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, leaving the grease in the skillet.
3. 3Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet with the bacon grease and let it melt over medium heat.
4. 4Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
5. 5In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper, then stir in the cooked bacon, grated cheese, and chopped chives (if using).
6. 6Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and once melted, pour in the egg mixture and let it cook over medium heat, without stirring, until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
7. 7Use a spatula to gently lift and fold the edges of the omelette towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges and cook, until the eggs are almost set, about 4-5 minutes more.
