Caramelised Onion & Goats Cheese Omelette

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

• rocket or 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

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.
