Tools to Use:

Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, such as cheddar or mozzarella)
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.

- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet, add butter or oil and heat over medium-low heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them cook for 1-2 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the edges of the eggs start to set, add the bacon and spinach mixture to one half of the omelet. Optionally, sprinkle cheese on top.
- Gently fold the omelet in half using a spatula and cook for another minute until fully set.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
