Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.5 Medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and swirl it around to coat the pan evenly.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until they become soft and start to caramelize.
Once the onions are caramelized, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the onions in the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently move the eggs from the edges of the pan toward the center as they begin to set, tilting the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
When the omelette is almost fully set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the chopped parsley and chives over the surface.
Once fully cooked to your preference, fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately.
