Britta's Mom's French Onion Soup Omelet
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 cup sliced onions
- 3 eggs at room temperature
- 3 teaspoons water
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Dijon Mustard, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- Add oil to a heated saute pan.
- When hot, add onions and caramelize until nice and brown.
- Set aside.
- Break the eggs into a mixing bowl, add water, salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in an 8-inch non-stick pan and set over high heat.
- Make sure the butter coats the whole pan.
- When the foam has subsided, slowly pour in the eggs.
- Tilt the pan to spread the eggs mixture evenly.
- Let eggs firm up a little and then shake the pan and use the spatula to get the mixture away from the sides, into the middle, letting the liquid run under the sides.
- Continue to cook until the mixture holds together.
- Add mustard, caramelized onions and grated cheese to the center.
- Tilt the pan to one side, and with a spatula fold about 1/3 of the omelet over the middle.
- Shake the pan gently to slide the omelet to the edge of the pan.
- Turn the omelet directly onto the plate by inverting the pan over the plate.
