Ingredients
- 4 eggs

- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the caramelized onions from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lay the prosciutto slices flat and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy.
- Remove the prosciutto from the pan and set aside.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook over medium heat.
- As the eggs start to set, gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- When the omelette is almost set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the caramelized onions and crispy prosciutto evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the filling is heated through and the omelette is fully cooked.
- Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and cut into slices before serving.
