CARAMELISED ONION & GOATS CHEESE OMELETTE

Caramelised Onion & Goats Cheese Omelette image

Adapted from a recipe, from 'Australian Men's Health' magazine that I found online in October 2008. Add your choice of herbs. Lately I've been using grindings of a fabulous rosemary and sage blend in a grinder.

Number Of Ingredients 16

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

Steps:

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.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 ounces butter
2 red onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
2 sheets ready rolled phyllo pastry
12 ounces goat cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Pre-heat the oven to 435°F
Melt half the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat.
Add the onions and cook for 25-30 minutes until soft and golden. Stir in the sugar, balsamic vinegar, Thyme and Garlic Granules. Leave to cool.
Melt the remaining butter. Unroll the pastry sheets and cut each one into four. In a patty tin, layer two quarters on top of each other, brushing lightly with butter between the sheets and on top.
Spoon 1/4 of the onions into the centre and set aside.
Repeat with the remaining pastry and onions to make 4 tarts. Place a slice of cheese on top of the onions on each tart. Lightly brush the edges of the pastry with butter.
Chill for 30 minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melting. Serve with a few salad leaves.
