Swiss Chard, Bacon, and Goat Cheese Omelet
- 2 eggs
- Kosher or sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 or 3 Swiss chard leaves
- 1 slice bacon, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 small shallot lobe, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ounce soft goat cheese, cut into small pieces
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs to combine and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Remove the Swiss chard leaves from the stems, and discard the stems or save them for another use.
- Stack the leaves, roll, and thinly slice.
- (You should have about 1/2 cup lightly packed leaves.)
- Set a small skillet, well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick, over medium heat, and scatter the bacon and shallot in the pan.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the shallot slices are lightly browned and tender, 3 or 4 minutes.
- Add the Swiss chard and cook until the chard is wilted and shrunk, stirring occasionally, another few minutes.
- Transfer the chard-bacon mixture to a plate.
- Return the pan to medium heat and pour in the olive oil.
- When it shimmers, pour in the eggs, swirling and tilting the pan so that the eggs fill the pan.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed until the bottom is just set, 1 to 2 minutes.
- With a spatula, carefully lift one edge of the eggs and tilt the pan so that the loose eggs run underneath.
- Scatter the chard-bacon mixture on one side of the omelet and top with the goat cheese.
- Use a spatula to quickly lift the omelet from the other side and fold it over.
- Transfer the omelet to a plate, and eat.
