Caramelized onion omelet
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for cooking
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
- salt and pepper
Instructions
-
In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil.
-
Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Once onions start to become translucent, add honey. Stir often until onions begin to caramelize (turn dark in color). If pieces start to stick to the pan, add a few spoonfuls of water and continue to cook until onions are 1/4 of the size of when you started cooking.
-
Remove onions from pan and add spinach, cooking a minute or so on a low temperature until wilted and bright green. Remove from pan.
-
Wash pan and heat a small drizzle of olive oil (or butter or nonstick spray) to a medium heat. Vigorously whisk eggs in a medium bowl to incorporate air. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Tilt the pan so the oil is evenly distributed. Pour in half the eggs and let the bottom set (it should do so almost immediately). Taking a spatula, lift some of the cooked egg and tilt the spatula so the uncooked eggs can run underneath.
-
Continue this method, moving around the pan, until no visible liquid remains, Place half the onions, spinach, and feta on one side of the omelet. Fold top over and slide onto a plate. Repeat with rest of ingredients. Serve immediately.
