Omelet Strips with Cherry Tomatoes, Bacon, and Grated Cheese

A classic egg omelet, served in a whole new way! This recipe stands out for its familiar, classic flavor and its unusual presentation. After all, even a bowl of oatmeal plated nicely and dressed up with, say, some fruit tastes better than the same oatmeal dumped in a plain bowl.

Step 1:

Crack the eggs into a deep bowl. Add a little salt (and a little ground black pepper too, if you like).
Step 2:

Whisk the eggs with the salt until lightly foamy. Set a skillet over the heat with a pat of butter. As soon as the butter melts, pour in the egg mixture, cover the pan right away, and cook the omelet until set (no need to flip it or brown both sides).
Step 3:

While the omelet cooks, prep the rest of the ingredients. Grate the cheese, either on a fine grater or a rasp for a fluffy crumb (like the way Parmesan is grated over pasta). How you grate it affects the finished dish; I prefer the fine crumb.
Step 4:

Now the bacon. Cut the bacon into small cubes and lightly fry it in a skillet with no added oil. You could use smoked bacon, but it's fattier and tastes a bit different; to my mind it would overpower the delicate omelet.
Step 5:

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Step 6:

Once the omelet is done, set it on a work surface and cut it into strips. I used a ruler to make them neat, but that's totally optional.
Step 7:

Arrange the omelet strips nicely on a plate and sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
Step 8:

Scatter the fried bacon cubes over the dish and top with the cherry tomato halves.

An omelet is usually a breakfast dish. To turn an ordinary breakfast into a "magical" one, sometimes it takes just a small tweak. There's no secret to this dish, the classic omelet is simply cut into narrow strips, and that's it! It has a lot going for it: breakfast comes together fast, there's no "unusual" flavor that might not suit everyone (the recipe uses everyday ingredients most people eat), and the dish looks great on the table.
