Country French Omelet
Recipe courtesy of Ina Garten
Level: Easy
Total: 35 min
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 25 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon good olive oil
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup (1-inch-diced) unpeeled Yukon Gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
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.
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.
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.

Unless it's gonna be cheese on the omelette.
Jeffrey and Ina are adorable together!😍☺️
Like your egg omlette
Ina I love a great omelet. ❤
Did she pour grease down the drain
Please don't pour your bacon grease down the sink unless you are multi-millionaire and can afford a plumber to clean your pipes.
No cheese?
If you can’t make your own omelette for 2.. store bought is fine
My French mom used to make this. She would add just a small amount of sharp cheddar on top. She didn’t put it in the oven. She’d just cover the pan to melt the cheese. I’ve never eaten better food than what my mother made. Seeing this video has my eyes leaking…see you soon Mom.
I can honestly say that I have never seen an omelette cooked in the oven before.. Nice! 😉

Isn't this basically a quiche without the crust?

The entrance into a man's heart is through his stomach.
Ahhh yes. Paris, Texas.

Did she just dump bacon grease into the sink?
They look tooooo
Perfect, come on!
This reminded me of something! I just finished reading Forbidden Chef Secrets cookbook and honestly, way it explains everything changed how I cook at home
Me encanta ella
She threw the bacon fat down the sink? Noooo.
I love Ina and enjoy her shows Especially when Jeff is visiting. He is so dashing and sweet, wish there were many more like him 🤷♂️
Beautiful Couple May they be continuously Blessed.

The only thing "French" here were the curse words Ina shouted out when she cut her finger with the knife. BTW, the French don't put milk in the eggs for an omelet.
What?? No onions???
I would have used the bacon grease & and cooked my eggs.
Problem is we don't preheat our ovens for an omelet. Nice anyway.
I’m coming back as Jeffrey in my next Life
I woulda save the bacon grease
