Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
  • Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Onion (1 medium, thinly sliced)
  • Tomatoes (2 medium, diced)
  • Eggs (4 large)

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the thinly sliced onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
  5. Pour the beaten egg mixture over the caramelized onions and tomatoes, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  6. Cook the omelette for about 3-4 minutes, until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
  8. Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese-covered half.
  9. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked to your liking.
  10. Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with the chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
