1. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, egg whites, chives, heavy cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Set aside.

Sprinkle a quarter of the bacon pieces and 1 Tablespoon goat cheese down the left side of the egg mixture. Cook for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, fold right side of omelet over bacon and cheese filling. Cook for 30 more second. Carefully slide onto plate (keep warm while cooking others). Repeat procedure for 4 omelets total.

4. In a medium-size bowl, toss salad greens with vinaigrette until evenly coated. Serve alongside omelets.
