Ingredients
Omelet
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ripe banana, sliced or mashed
- 1 tbsp butter
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs: Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly with a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- Heat butter in skillet: Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet and heat it over medium heat until melted and hot, but not browned.
- Cook the banana slices: Add the sliced or mashed ripe banana to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring gently, until the bananas become slightly softened and heated through.
- Pour in eggs: Evenly pour the whisked eggs over the softened bananas in the skillet, spreading the mixture gently if needed.
- Set and fold the omelet: Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed until the edges begin to set and firm up, then carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula.
- Finish cooking: Continue cooking the folded omelet for an additional minute to ensure it cooks fully through while remaining soft and fluffy.
- Serve with toppings: Remove the omelet from heat, sprinkle with optional cinnamon, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the sweetest, most flavorful omelet.
- For extra protein, try adding chopped nuts or a dollop of peanut butter.
- Best enjoyed fresh and warm to maintain softness and taste.
