Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon good olive oil
  2. 3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
  3. 1 cup (1-inch-diced) unpeeled Yukon Gold potatoes
  4. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  5. 5 extra-large eggs
  6. 3 tablespoons milk
  7. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  8. 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof omelet pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned but not crisp. Take the bacon out of the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
  3. Place the potatoes in the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until very tender and browned, tossing occasionally to brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon to the same plate with the bacon.
  4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together with a fork. After the potatoes are removed, pour the fat out of the pan and discard. Add the butter, lower the heat to low, and pour the eggs into the hot pan. Sprinkle the bacon, potatoes, and chives evenly over the top and place the pan in the oven for about 8 minutes, just until the eggs are set. Slide onto a plate, divide in half, and serve hot.

Usually use this as a base. Add deli ham, if I have it. Cut back on the bacon. Pre-cook the potatoes and add green onions instead of chives. Happy husband when I make it.

First one we found lacking..So being french and living in the country. We added some dliced leeks, sliced up cooked pork sausage and a pinch of quatre épices and some freshly ground black pepper. This all bumped up the flavor and we will keep making it with these chages. The recipe is very plain however you could so many diverse ingredients to bump up the flavor
