Ingredients
- 1/2 pound sliced Danish bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium potato, shredded
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small ripe tomato, seeded and finely chopped
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon chives, minced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large skillet, fry the bacon over moderate heat until almost crisp and drain on paper towels.
- Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of the fat. Add the potato, onion, and tomato, and stir until the potato is softened, about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, pour over the vegetables, and stir slightly. Add the bacon, chives, and pepper and stir. Bake in the oven until the omelette is set, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cut into wedges and serve hot.
