How to Make Chard And Onion Omelet Trouchia

  1. Wash and chop the chard and onion.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook slowly for about 10 minutes, until softened and lightly caramelized.
  3. Add the chard, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chard is wilted and tender.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), Parmesan cheese (if using), and a pinch of nutmeg (if using).
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the chard and onion mixture in the skillet.
  6. Cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the omelet is set but still slightly moist on top. If the omelet browns too quickly, reduce the heat further.
  7. Once cooked, let the omelet rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or cold!
