Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut them into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until fully combined. Add the sugar (if using), ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter and vegetable oil. Swirl the pan to coat evenly.
Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and slightly caramelized. Once done, remove the bananas from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs cook for about 1 minute, undisturbed, until the edges start to set.
Evenly distribute the cooked banana slices over the eggs in the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the omelette is nearly cooked through but still slightly moist on top.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half, creating a half-moon shape. Press down gently with the spatula to seal and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the center is fully set.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Colombian Banana Omelette!
