The "Homlette"

Alex makes an omelette that is completely out of this world. His last name is Hombek, so he calls it the "Homlette". I've been meaning to share the recipe with you, but kept forgetting. Tonight, I share!

1 onion, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4-1/2 green pepper, chopped
4 eggs at least (2 eggs for every person eating the Homlette)
1 tbsp milk
6-7 strips of bacon, cooked and broken into pieces
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350F.
Fry bacon in a cast iron skillet (or some other skillet that can be put into an oven), remove once cooked and set aside to cool.
In the grease from the bacon, cook the onions, potatoes, garlic and green peppers.*
Meanwhile, mix eggs with the milk. Once the potatoes, onions, garlic and peppers are browned, pour the eggs/milk into the skillet. DO NOT STIR.
Let it cook. Once it starts to congeal around the edges, put the bacon and cheese on top and then bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting into it to eat.

*For tastiest results, do it this way. However, we realize that's not exactly healthy, and so, Alex has also made it by cooking the bacon in the microwave (our preferred bacon cooking method) and cooking the potatoes/onions/garlic/peppers in a decent amount of olive oil (he says to use enough oil so that the food doesn't burn or stick to the pan).
