Onion Omelet Recipes

CRISPY BACON AND SWEET ONION OMELET

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and cool; crumble the bacon and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in the butter until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Prepare a 10-inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over a cold burner. Whisk together the eggs and water; pour the egg mixture into the cold skillet. Cover and turn the burner on for medium-low heat. Cook until steam begins to vent from the skillet. Remove the lid. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, Cheddar cheese, American cheese, salt, and red pepper over the eggs. Spread the onions over the eggs. Gently swirl the skillet in a circular motion to release the omelet and slide it onto a plate. Fold the omelet in half. Allow the cheese to melt, about 2 minutes.

DELUXE BACON ONION OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange bacon on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just crisped, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Beat eggs and water together in a bowl.
• Let the bacon cool on paper towels, about 5 minutes. Break into small pieces.
• Spray a 10-inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Melt butter over medium heat until foaming, about 2 minutes. Add onion once butter is no longer foaming. Cook and stir until tender but not browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Pour eggs into the skillet and cook until mostly set, about 2 minutes. Lift the omelet with a spatula as the center rises; tilt the skillet so that uncooked eggs run to the center of the pan. Cook until set, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle bacon pieces onto the omelet and fold in half using the spatula.

ONION CHEESE OMELET

• Combine eggs, salt substitute, and minced onion.
• Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

POTATO AND ONION OMELETTE

Steps:

• Heat oil in 9 inch omelette pan. Fry garlic until golden and discard. Add potato slices and cook over medium heat. Add onions after 5 minutes; cook until potatoes are tender. Lift and turn potatoes and onions as they cook.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs with a fork or wire whisk until slightly foamy; add salt and pepper to taste.
• Add potatoes and onions to eggs, draining with a slotted spoon before you add them. Return egg and potato mixture to same skillet, adding more oil if necessary so that eggs will not stick. Spread evenly and cook over medium heat, shaking pan.
• When eggs leave sides of pan, invert a plate over the pan and flip omelette onto plate. Slide omelette back into pan to brown other side. Repeat this process one more time.
• Serve hot or at room temperature on a round china or glass plate.

CHARD AND ONION OMELET (TROUCHIA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 10inch skillet. Add the onion and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely soft but not browned, about 15 minutes. Add the chard and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the moisture has cooked away and the chard is tender, about 15 minutes. Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper. Meanwhile, mash the garlic in a mortar with a few pinches of salt, then stir it into the eggs along with herbs. Combine the chardonion mixture with the eggs, stir in the Gruy re cheese and half the Parmesan.
• Preheat the broiler. Heat the remaining oil to the skillet and when it's hot, add the eggs. Slide the pan back and forth a few times to make sure the eggs are not sticking. Keep the heat at mediumhigh for about one minute, then turn it to low. Cook until the eggs are set but still a quite moist on top. Add the remaining cheese, slide the pan under the broiler and broil until browned.
• Serve the trouchia in the pan or slide it onto a serving dish and cut into wedges. The gratined top and the golden bottom are equally presentable.
