Ingredients

  • 1 tbs. virgin olive oil
  • 3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 cup (1" diced) Yukon Gold potatoes
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 5 extra large eggs
  • 3 tbs. milk
  • 1 tbs. unsalted butter
  • 1 tbs. fresh chopped chives

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat the olive oil in a 10" ovenproof omelet pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3-5 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.

Place the potatoes in a pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to cook over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, until very tender and browned, tossing occasionally to brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon to the same plate with the bacon.

Meanwhile in a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. 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 8 minutes, just until the eggs are set. Slide onto a plate, divide in half and serve.
