FLAESKEAEGGEKAGE (DANISH BACON & EGG PANCAKE/OMELET)
In Scandanavia, the word pancake is an almost generic term used for crepes, omelets & true pancakes, but mostly for crepes & omelets. The origin of this recipe is my "Classic Scandanavian Cooking" by Nika Hazelton cookbook & the intro suggests using a very tasty & full-flavored bacon for the best result. If I were in the US & making this dish, I'd be using a thick-sliced peppered bacon or good maple-flavored bacon.

Steps:
- Fry bacon in a med-sized non-stick skillet till crisp. Remove bacon to drain on paper towel. Remove any rendered bacon fat in excess of 3 tablespoons When bacon has cooled, crumble into sml pieces & set aside. (NOTE: I've not had Danish bacon, but it is sold canned, is lean & well-flavored. The recipe says to reserve all bacon fat in the skillet if using Danish bacon, but I amended that to allow for using most US types of bacon.).
- Beat eggs w/milk, flour, salt & chives. Reheat bacon fat & pour egg mixture into it.
- When the omelet begins to set, sprinkle the crumbled bacon on the top & lift cooked omelet edges w/a fork so the uncooked portion runs underneath. Cont cooking till the eggs are set & the edges golden brown. Fold the omelet & serve hot, cutting the omelet in half to serve 2 hearty appetites or 3 wedges for less hearty appetites.
- For a firmer omelet, turn out onto a plate& return the omelet to the skillet, uncooked side down. Brown lightly & serve.
- NOTE: Not a part of the recipe, but I like cream cheese w/this & add a smear of it to half the omelet b4 I fold it over.
DANISH OMELET
This was a regular Sat night dinner served with good crusty bread. It has a heavier texture than a French omelet, more like a frittata. Good for lunch or Brunch I often use slivered ham steak on top instead of the bacon or the streaky pork - just a bit less fat

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your Danish omelet. Use fresh eggs, milk, and vegetables.
- Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook the eggs until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help to prevent the omelet from sticking and will make it easier to flip.
- Be careful when flipping the omelet: Use a wide, flat turner to carefully flip the omelet. Do not shake the pan, as this will cause the omelet to break.
- Serve the omelet immediately: Danish omelets are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to prevent the omelet from becoming dry or tough.
