In skillet, sauté bacon strips in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Remove and keep warm. In a bowl blend eggs, half-and-half, flour, salt, pepper, chives, and vermouth. Add 1 tablespoon butter or margarine to heated skillet if necessary. When hot pour in egg mixture and stir with a fork in a circular motion for a minute or two. When omelette is beginning to set, sprinkle bacon over top. Lift up omelette with spatula and let any uncooked portion run underneath. Cook until set and bottom is golden. Fold omelette and turn out onto heated plate. Drizzle 1 teaspoon melted butter or margarine over top and sprinkle with parsley.
