Ingredients for Tasty Omelet

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (Italian blend recommended)
  • Smoked Beef
  • Cheese Slice
  • 2 tablespoons butter

How to Make Tasty Omelet

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium-sized nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  2. While the onions cook, crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
  3. Stir in the cooked onions, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper into the whisked eggs. Mix well.
  4. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan.
  5. Let the omelet cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
  6. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  7. Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly wet on top, place the cheese slices in the center and arrange the cooked beef on either side.
  8. Gently fold the omelet in half, using the spatula to help fold it over neatly.
  9. Cook for another minute, until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toast!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
