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