Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients

   Slice the smoked bacon into bite‑size pieces, roughly chop the red bell pepper, slice the spring onions on an angle, thaw and drain the peas, and roughly chop the fresh basil. Grate the Parmesan and cut the goat cheese into small chunks.

   Time: PT5M

2. Crisp the Bacon

   Heat the large non‑stick skillet over high heat. Add the bacon pieces and fry until they are golden and crispy, stirring occasionally.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: high

3. Cook the Red Pepper

   Add the chopped red pepper to the rendered bacon fat. Cook, stirring, until the pepper softens and starts to caramelize.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: medium‑high

4. Add Spring Onions

   Toss in the sliced spring onions and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: medium

5. Season the Base

   Season the bacon‑pepper‑onion mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

   Time: PT30S

6. Whisk Eggs with Cheese

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs, grated Parmesan, a pinch of salt, and a generous grind of black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

   Time: PT2M

7. Add Peas and Basil

   Stir the thawed peas and chopped basil into the skillet, mixing with the bacon and vegetables.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: medium

8. Pour Egg Mixture

   Slowly pour the whisked eggs over the vegetable‑bacon mixture, tilting the pan to spread evenly. Let the edges set, then gently lift with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium‑low

9. Distribute Goat Cheese

   Scatter the goat‑cheese chunks over the top of the partially set omelette.

   Time: PT1M

10. Finish Under the Grill

    Place the skillet under a pre‑heated broiler (or grill) for 4–5 minutes, until the top is set, lightly golden, and the goat cheese is melted and bubbling.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: broiler high

11. Release and Serve

    Run a thin spatula around the edges, gently tap the pan to release the omelette onto a serving board, slice into wedges, and serve immediately with buttered toast and coffee.
