Ingredients
- olive oil, for drizzling
- 100 g smoky bacon, diced
- ¼ red onion, finely diced
- 1 Desiree potato, peeled and cut into 1-cm cubes
- 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
- 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 small handful chopped parsley
- ¼ lemon
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non–stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon, onion, potato and garlic and fry for about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the tomato and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, half the parsley and a small squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to combine, then spread the mixture evenly in the pan.
- Add the eggs and move the pan around to spread evenly toward the edges. Cover and cook over low-medium heat until the edges begin to dry and colour.
- Once the egg is just cooked, encourage the edges away from the sides with a spoon or spatula. Place a large plate over the top of the pan and invert the omelette onto the plate. Sprinkle the top with the remaining parsley and season with salt to taste.
