Bacon and sheep cheese omelette

Bacon goes really well with sour tasting, brined cheeses such as feta or sheep cheese, so no wonder this simple bacon and sheep cheese omelette is absolutely delicious. I added some nutty watercress, but wild rocket or spinach leaves would work too. Serve it with a slice of sourdough!
