Ingredients:  
1 pound package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
1 cup water
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 onion, sliced
6 eggs, beaten with ½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions:
Spread the gnocchi in one layer in a large nonstick skillet and add the water, olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for about 3 minutes. Most of the water should be absorbed.

Add the onions and continue cooking, uncovered, until the gnocchi and onions start to sizzle and begin to brown lightly.

Add the egg mixture to the skillet, swirling and shaking pan rapidly, until bottom and sides begin to set, about 3 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, press the edges in to begin to form a puck shape. Continue to cook, adjusting heat to prevent bottom of omelet from burning, until beginning to set around edges, about 3 minutes longer.

Place a large overturned flat plate or lid on top of skillet, set hand on top (using a dish towel if you are sensitive to heat), and, in one very quick motion, invert omelet onto it. Carefully slide the omelet back into skillet and continue to cook until second side is beginning to firm up, about 2 minutes. Use rubber spatula to again press the sides in all around to form a rounded puck shape. Continue to cook until lightly browned on second side but still tender in the center when pressed with a finger, about 2 minutes longer

Slide onto a platter, cut into wedges and sprinkle with the cheese. Serve immediately.

Personal Notes:
You also cook the eggs more like scrambled eggs if you prefer. I call this omelet a quick Spanish tortilla.
