Directions

Combine the grated cheese, parsley, and broth with the egg yolks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fry the bacon in a non-stick frying pan.
Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the mixture of yolks until you have a light and airy batter. ≈ 10 min
Pour, along with the bacon, into the frying pan, cover with a buttered lid, and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown.
Wait until the surface of the mixture has set: at this point, the omelette is cooked. ≈ 3 min
Fold the omelette in half in the frying pan, then slide it onto a preheated plate.
