Bacon adds a rustic, Old World flavor to
dishes. There is no
need to fold this omelet as it is served
face up. Omelets
that are not folded are also known as
frittatas.
4 slices bacon
1
baked potato
4
large eggs
¼ cup
fat-free milk
¼
teaspoon salt
Pinch
sweet paprika
Pinch
ground black pepper
⅓
cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1. Cut most of the fat off the bacon with a
kitchen shears and then
cut the meat
into smaller pieces. Place the trimmed bacon in a
10-inch frying pan and set over medium heat.
2. Peel the potato and cut into small cubes, add to frying pan.
Fry
until the
bacon is crispy and the potato is heated. Set aside in a bowl.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, paprika and
pepper.
Pour
the egg mixture into the frying pan. With a spatula, pull
the
cooked egg
from the edges towards the center. Shake the pan to
allow any uncooked
egg to fill in the outer edges.
4. Just before the egg mixture sets, push the egg mixture into
the middle to
make a
round, then turn once. Top with bacon, potato and cheese.

No Nitrites Bacon
If you can't find nitrite-free bacon, here
is a good option. Drinking green tea when eating regular
bacon also helps to stop the formation of nitrosomines
which are cancer causing chemicals.
