Yes, the type of conjunction used in the given sentence is a coordinating conjunction. Specifically, the coordinating conjunction used in the sentence is "and".
To determine the type of conjunction used in a sentence, you can look for words that connect similar elements, such as words that join two nouns, two verbs, two phrases, or two independent clauses. In this case, the conjunction "and" is used to connect the two nouns, "sausage" and "bacon", indicating that both ingredients are desired in the omelet.
