01
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat, turning it now and then until it’s nice and crispy, about 10 minutes. Once done, drain it on some paper towels, let it cool, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces. Meanwhile, preheat your oven’s broiler and set the rack about 6 inches from the heat.

Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth. Heat a little vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat, then pour in the eggs. Tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly and cook until the edges start to set but the middle is still a bit soft, around 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3
Carefully flip the omelet and cook the other side for about a minute. Transfer the omelet to a broiler-safe baking sheet, then sprinkle on the crumbled bacon, diced tomato, turkey, and cheese. Fold the omelet in half to seal in all those tasty fillings.

Step 4
Pop the omelet under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. When it’s ready, slide it onto a plate, arrange a few tomato slices on top, drizzle with hollandaise sauce, and finish with a sprinkle of parsley. Enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. A slice of toasted artisan bread or a warm tortilla can also complement the dish nicely. For a spicy kick, add a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to maintain texture and flavor. Avoid freezing, as the eggs may become rubbery.
