instructions
    1

    Start by peeling and finely chopping the onion.

    2

    In a medium pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.

    3

    While the onion cooks, crack 3 eggs into a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Whisk until well combined.

    4

    Once the onions are ready, reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs evenly over the onions in the pan.

    5

    Cook for about 5 minutes, gently lifting the edges of the omelet with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.

    6

    When the edges are set but the surface is still slightly runny, cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully set.

    7

    Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
