How to Make Onion Omelet From The Ticino

  1. In a medium-sized nonstick skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent burning.
  3. Season the caramelized onions with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs lightly with a fork.
  5. Pour the whisked eggs over the caramelized onions in the skillet.
  6. Cook over low heat, allowing the omelet to set around the edges. Gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  7. Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly wet on top, sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper if desired.
  8. Carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula.
  9. Continue cooking for another minute or two until the omelet is cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
  10. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy!
