This cheesy carmelized onion omelette will really hit the spot!
Ingredients
2 eggs, preferably pastured, free-range well beaten
½ vidalia onion, sliced thin and carmelized
2 oz. cheese of choice, I use mozzarella or mexican
dash of red pepper flakes, (optional)
Instructions
To carmelize onions, slice vidalia onion in thin slices, and place in skillet set on low setting (2-3). Slowly cook while stirring periodically and adjusting temperature if needed. After 20-30 minutes onions will have reduced in size and will be mostly brown. Remove onions from pan and set aside.
Butter skillet, and put setting on medium heat (5-6).
Beat eggs and pour into skillet.
Sprinkle onions onto eggs and then top with cheese and red pepper flakes (if using). After a couple minutes, fold eggs in half and continue cooking for another minute or so. *I usually grate cheese right onto the eggs (while skillet is pulled off of heat for a minute so it doesn't overcook).
Notes
*Prep time is shortened to the time it takes you to beat the eggs if you've previously carmelized onions and have them stored in fridge. Since that process takes awhile, lately I've been carmelizing an entire onion and use for 2 different mornings.
