In a bowl, beat the eggs with milk and grated Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese. Adjust salt and pepper, then add the vegetables.
Oil and bread an oven-dish of 15x20cm.
Pour the egg mixture, cover with an aluminium foil and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for about 25 minutes.
Cut the onions into rounds and cook them in a frying pan with oil and a pinch of salt until soft and transparent. Add 2-3 spoons of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI and caramelise them for some minutes.
With a pasta cutter, cut the omelette into rounds having the same diameter of the buns.
Stuff the buns with onion, omelette, a slice of Emmentaler and onion again.
