INGREDIENTS
- 8 eggs
- 100 g bacon or Italian pancetta
- 100 g Emmental
- 100 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan
- 1 onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- handful fresh herbs
Instructions
- 1Finely chop the onion and garlic, dice the bacon, roughly chop the herbs, and grate the cheese. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- 2In a stainless steel pan with a handle that can later go into the oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and let it soften for one to two minutes. Stir occasionally; the result should be translucent, soft, but not browning onion.
- 3Add the garlic to the onion and stir briefly; it will immediately become fragrant in the heat. After that, stir in the bacon and let it first soften, then gently brown; this will take several minutes.
- 4Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl, pour in the milk, add 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, and mix thoroughly with a whisk. You don't need to salt it, as the cheese and bacon will provide enough saltiness to the omelet.
- 5Pour the eggs over the fried bacon and stir briefly once or twice to distribute the ingredients evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with herbs and let it cook slowly and, most importantly, undisturbed.
- 6From the moment small craters begin to form on the top of the omelet, through which steam escapes from below, count one more minute, then transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Position the rack approximately in the upper third so that the omelet is close to the top heat.
- 7Bake for 2 minutes, then open the oven, carefully slide out the omelet, and sprinkle its surface with the remaining cheese. Bake for another approximately 8 minutes, until the surface is lightly golden.
- 8Finally, carefully remove the pan from the oven using kitchen towels or oven mitts. Remember that the handle will remain hot for a few more moments, so as a precaution, you can wrap it with towels or leave an oven mitt on it to prevent accidentally grabbing the pan as you normally would.
- 9Go around the edge of the omelet with a knife or silicone spatula and cut it into portions. It should detach quite easily from the bottom of the pan. Congratulate yourself, and then let others congratulate you many times over; you deserve it.
