Preparing the Ingredients

Start by dicing the onion finely to ensure it cooks evenly within the omelette. If you're including cheese, have a slice ready or grate some to sprinkle over your eggs.

Whisking the Eggs

Crack two large eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy for the best fluffiness.

Cooking the Omelette

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until soft. Pour in the egg mixture, allowing it to set slightly before gently pushing the cooked edges towards the center, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the edges. Once the bottom is set but the top still slightly wet, add the cheese over half the omelette, then fold it in half to cover the cheese. Cook for a few more minutes, then serve hot.

⭐️ Nutrition facts:

This dish is particularly high in proteins, thanks to the eggs, and offers a good amount of healthy fats, primarily from the cooking fat and cheese. The onions add a negligible amount of carbs and fiber, making it suitable for low-carb diets.
