Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line plate with 2 to 3 paper towels and set aside.
Heat large skillet over medium heat. When pan is hot, add bacon pieces and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bacon is crispy but not burnt. Carefully remove bacon pieces from skillet and place on plate lined with paper towels. Set aside to let excess grease drain off.
Add cubed potatoes, 1 pinch salt, and 1 pinch black pepper to skillet and stir to incorporate. Cook potatoes 10 minutes or until slightly crispy. Tines of fork should easily pierce potatoes through to center with little to no resistance. When potatoes are ready, transfer potatoes to plate with cooked bacon.
Crack eggs into medium mixing bowl. Add milk of choice, 1 pinch salt, and 1 pinch pepper, then vigorously whisk together ingredients until mixture is pale in color and eggs are no longer streaky. Set eggs aside.
Carefully drain any remaining bacon fat from skillet then return skillet to medium heat. Add butter to skillet and let butter melt, swirling pan occasionally to distribute melted butter across surface of skillet.
Once butter is completely melted (but not yet browned or bubbling), immediately reduce heat to low and let pan cool slightly.
Pour egg mixture into skillet. Arrange cooked bacon, potatoes, and chopped chives evenly across top of egg mixture, then carefully move skillet from stovetop into preheated oven.
Bake dish 6 to 8 minutes or until eggs are set. Eggs should still appear slightly shiny or moist, and center of omelette should be completely set with slight jiggle.
Once eggs are fully cooked, carefully remove skillet from oven. Slice omelette into desired number of servings and serve immediately with fresh fruit, toast, or other sides of choice.
