Ingredients

• 2 pieces ripe bananas
• 4 pieces eggs
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and cut them into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until fully combined. Add the sugar (if using), ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter and vegetable oil. Swirl the pan to coat evenly.

Step 4

Add the banana slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and slightly caramelized. Once done, remove the bananas from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs cook for about 1 minute, undisturbed, until the edges start to set.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the cooked banana slices over the eggs in the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the omelette is nearly cooked through but still slightly moist on top.

Step 7

Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half, creating a half-moon shape. Press down gently with the spatula to seal and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the center is fully set.

Step 8

Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Colombian Banana Omelette!
