Ingredients:

  • 2 (1/4-inch- thick) slices slab bacon (1/4 lb; rind discarded if necessary), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick lardons
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • pinch of black pepper

Directions:

  1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
  2. Cook lardons in a well-seasoned 8-inch steel omelet pan or nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until well browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and discard fat from pan.
  3. Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper vigorously in a bowl until foamy.
  4. Put 2 ovenproof plates in oven to warm, then heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in omelet pan over moderate heat until foam from butter subsides. Pour 1/2 cup egg mixture into pan and cook, lifting up cooked egg around edge with a heatproof rubber spatula to let raw egg flow underneath, until bottom of omelet is set but top is still runny, about 1 1/2 minutes. Scatter half of lardons over omelet, then fold omelet in half using spatula and transfer to a heated plate. Keep warm in oven.
  5. Make another omelet in same manner, then transfer to other heated plate and serve immediately.
  6. Cooks' note: The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area.
