This is a tried and true recipe in our home. Great for any meal of the day but delightful with a salad tossed with a simple vinaigrette, and a glass of Chardonnay for a light supper. This is real French food - simple and delicious- no hidden sauces to be found. To lighten it up; used 2 eggs and 3 whites, skim milk, scant butter, cooked in EVOO (no bacon fat and it still is delicious. A small amount of pancetta in lieu of bacon was wonderful too.

This will go in your permanent recipe file - trust me!

We had this for dinner tonight and it was delicious!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing I did differently was saute mushrooms in the bacon drippings after the potatoes were done and added them to the omelet. We also like a little heat so I sprinkled it with red pepper flakes. We will definitely have this again.....SOON!!!!

This came out amazing. I was testing this out on a friend of mine. He will eat anything but doesn't talk about the food unless it's REALLY good. Well, he went on and on about how much he liked it. He said it was lighter than expected but still filling.

He said this was a great for brunch but thought he could even cook it for his wife and kids for dinner. I must admit, I agree. It wasn't heavy by any means, yet it was filling enough that it could be a light dinner. It is to be the perfect balance between protein <eggs> and carbs <potatoes>.

To finish this I sliced french bread, drizzled it with olive oil, put it under the broiler until it was lightly <I do mean LIGHTLY> toasted, then drizzled a little honey on it when it came out of the oven. It was the perfect balance between sweet and salty and went even better with the omelet.

Try this

This is a great recipe, quick and easy, but I found that adding a little cheese before putting in the oven makes it even better!

I couldn't wait to try this recipe - we too had been to Paris. I made it exactly the same. It was everything expected and more. Next time I would use potatoes that were left over. I can always count on Ina's recipes the way she makes them. I rarely make changes.

The perfect omelet/frittata recipe. Her recipe for "Omelet for 2" is similar and is always a big hit. I've used many different ingredient variations and this past Sunday I had some pork carnitas left over from lunch at a Mexican restaurant so I shredded those, added sauteed tomatoes, spinach, onions and green peppers and had an amazing Mexican-styled omelet served with fresh corn tortillas and green salsa.

I have made this twice in two days. Very good. My 2 boys loved it (one doesn't eat much and the other doesn't like eggs Go figure. I grated parmesean on top when it came out of the oven.
