instructions
    1

    Start by peeling and slicing the onion thinly.

    2

    In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

    3

    Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.

    4

    While the onions are cooking, crack 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk them until fully combined. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper to the eggs and mix well.

    5

    Once the onions are ready, lower the heat and pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed onions in the skillet. Gently stir to combine the onions with the eggs.

    6

    Cook the omelette on low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the sides are set.

    7

    To check if the middle is cooked, you can gently lift the edges and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the sides.

    8

    Once the omelette is fully set, carefully slide it onto a plate and serve warm.
