ingredients
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter, preferably unsalted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 eggs
- 40 g goat cheese
- 1 pinch rosemary (optional)
- 1 pinch sage (optional)
- 1 pinch oregano (optional)
- 1 pinch marjoram (optional)
- 1 pinch thyme (optional)
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- baby spinach leaves or salad greens, 2 handfuls
- 1⁄2 tablespoon olive oil (or 1/4 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 tablespoon fresh lemon juice)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
directions
- Melt the butter in a (preferably non-stick) pan and sauté the onion and garlic until they have softened and just lightly browned; add the sugar and continue cooking until the consistency of the contents of the pan is sticky like a jam; remove from the pan. If you want to use the same pan, rinse or wash it as necessary and wipe it clean with kitchen towelling.
- Whisk the eggs lightly and pour into a (preferably non-stick) pan; when the base of the omelette is beginning to set, add the cheese, onions and garlic, your choice of herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the top of the omelette under a grill; slide the omelette onto the serving plates and serve immediately with your choice of salad greens drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with lemon zest.

Pretty good. But the caramelized onions and the cheese are too much for each other. It either needs to be one or the other. The cheese is overshadowed by the caramelized onions. A waste of goat cheese. Use one or the other not both. And it isn't the onions, one could use the onions alone but the sweetness that comes with the caramelization is too much. And it needs little to no salt.

This was very different for me, compared to the omelettes I normally eat. But after a couple of bites, it grew on me. I followed the directions as written but had to sub regular onion for the red and left out the rosemary, but used all other optional ingredients for the omelette. I used some fleur de sel for the salt to really make it a French omelette. And since I was having this for breakfast, I didn't us the salad greens. Next time I would completely leave out the sugar, as the caramelised onions are sweet enough. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT 5.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
