Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by peeling the medium onion. Cut it in half lengthwise and slice each half into thin, even slices.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once the oil has melted and is shimmering, add the sliced onions.
Sauté the onions for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, crack four large eggs. Add the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Beat the eggs thoroughly until well-blended and slightly frothy.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Heat over medium-low.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, swirling gently to distribute them evenly across the bottom.
Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the sautéed onions evenly over one half of the omelette. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley evenly over the onions.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the un-topped side of the omelette over the onion and parsley side.
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, or until the omelette is cooked through to your desired doneness.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
