- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Ingredients:**
- Drain the canned tuna and set aside.

2. **Whisk the Eggs:**
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. **Heat the Pan:**
- Ensure your induction-compatible frying pan is ready.
- Add butter or olive oil to the pan before placing it on the induction stovetop.
- Turn on the induction stovetop to medium heat. (It's generally recommended to add food or cooking oil to the pan before turning on the induction stove to avoid damaging the pan and ensure even cooking.)

5. **Add the Tuna:**
- Add the drained tuna to the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for about 1 minute.

6. **Cook the Omelette:**
- In the same pan, add a bit more butter or oil if needed.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and cook over medium heat.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, until they begin to set around the edges but are still slightly runny in the center.
7. **Add the Filling:**
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Spoon the tuna and vegetable mixture over the cheese.
8. **Fold and Finish:**
- Use a spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
- Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
9. **Serve:**
- Slide the omelette onto a plate.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
