As egg begins to cook and coagulate, use a rubber scraper or spatula to carefully lift cooked edges from the sides of the skillet. Tilt the skillet to allow raw egg to run down lifted edges toward the bottom of the skillet to cook, about 2 minutes.
8
When egg is coagulated but still moist, place cooked bacon and garlic, Pepper jack, and baby spinach on one half.
9
Using a wide plastic spatula, flip empty half of egg over top of vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, and slide onto a plate. Serve immediately.
Variation: To make a Sausage
and Swiss Omelet, simply replace bacon slices with 1⁄4 pound (115g) ground sausage, and use grated Baby Swiss instead of Pepper jack. You may also need to add an additional tablespoon of butter to make up for the missing bacon drippings.
