Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 slices bacon
• 0.25 medium yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 cup (shredded) Gruyère cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, then chop into small pieces.

Step 2

In the same skillet, remove excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 teaspoon. Add the diced onion and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, swirling to coat the surface evenly.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, then use a spatula to gently pull the edges of the omelet toward the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow outward. Repeat this process until most of the egg is set but the surface is still slightly runny.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped bacon, caramelized onions, and shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.

Step 7

Use the spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 8

Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
