Drain 2 cans of artichoke hearts into a colander and shake off excess liquid.

Transfer artichoke hearts to paper towels in a single layer and pat them dry.

Cut each artichoke heart into four evenly sized pieces.

Crack 6 large eggs into a large bowl and season with sea salt and black pepper.

Whisk the eggs until well mixed.

Finely chop 2 medium-sized onions and roughly chop 4 cloves of garlic.

Heat an 11-inch nonstick fry pan over medium heat and add 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the onions are slightly translucent.

Add the artichoke pieces to the pan and sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.

Remove the fry pan from heat and transfer the artichoke mixture to the bowl with the whisked eggs, mixing gently.

Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to develop flavors.

Heat the same fry pan over low medium heat and add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.

Pour the egg and artichoke mixture into the pan, ensuring it's evenly distributed in a flat layer.

Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the edges set.

To flip the omelette, place a plate slightly smaller than the pan over the omelette and flip the pan to transfer the omelette to the plate.

Slide the omelette back into the pan and compact the edges towards the center with a spatula.

Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes total.

Remove the pan from heat and slide the omelette onto a serving dish.
