Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2

Necessary ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons of olive oil (you can also use butter for a richer taste)
- 2 fresh eggs (high quality, preferably from free-range hens)
- 3 green onions (choose onions with fresh green leaves, without spots)
- 1 bunch of dill (fresh dill is essential for a vibrant taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)

Step by step in preparing the onion and dill omelette:

1. Preparing the ingredients:
Start by washing the green onions and dill well. Slice the onion into very thin rings and chop the dill finely, so it integrates perfectly into the omelette.

2. Beating the eggs:
In a medium bowl, crack the two eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a whisk or a fork to beat the eggs until they become homogeneous, making sure to incorporate air for a fluffy omelette.

3. Mixing the ingredients:
Add the onion and dill to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Gently mix to evenly distribute the ingredients. Here you can also add other favorite spices or grated cheese for an extra flavor boost.

4. Heating the pan:
In a non-stick skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is well heated but not smoking. Olive oil provides a pleasant and healthy flavor, but you can also opt for butter for a richer note.

5. Cooking the omelette:
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. This will help cook the omelette evenly and prevent burning. Wait about 5 minutes or until the edges of the omelette start to pull away from the pan.

6. Flipping the omelette:
Using a spatula, check the bottom of the omelette. If it is golden and well cooked, carefully flip the omelette. Use the spatula to fold it in half, then let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until it becomes firm and fluffy.

7. Serving:
Once the omelette is ready, carefully remove it from the pan and place it on a platter. It can be served warm, alongside a fresh green salad, which will add a crunchy and refreshing contrast. You can drizzle the omelette with a little olive oil for extra flavor.

Serving suggestions:
This omelette can be accompanied by a slice of toasted bread or an avocado toast for a nutritious breakfast. Additionally, a cup of green tea or freshly squeezed orange juice would perfectly complete the meal.

Tips and useful advice:
- If you want to try a vegetarian version, you can add some chopped cherry tomatoes or bell peppers.
- For an extra protein boost, add some cubes of feta or mozzarella cheese to the mixture.
- Dill can be replaced with parsley or basil, depending on your preferences.
