- Chop the green onion into thin slices.
- Place a non-stick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and let it melt, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

- Press down gently to ensure the omelet seals and the ingredients inside are warmed through.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Garnish with additional green onions or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides like toast, hash browns, or a fresh salad.
