Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 medium ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 sprig fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thin, uniform rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together until fully blended. Add the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the eggs, and whisk again until smooth.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the sliced bananas in a single layer to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, gently flipping the pieces halfway through, until they are lightly caramelized and fragrant. Remove the bananas from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to ensure they spread evenly into a thin layer.

Step 5

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until they begin to set but are still slightly runny on top. Evenly distribute the caramelized banana slices over one half of the omelet.

Step 6

Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the bananas to enclose them. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the omelet is golden on the bottom.

Step 7

Slide the omelet onto a serving plate and drizzle the top with honey for a touch of sweetness. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy the sweet and savory flavors of Tenerife!
