Balsamic Onion and Spinach Omelet

  • 8 eggs
  • 1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, or 8 oz frozen, thawed, squeezed dry
  • 2 tbsp cooking fat (i.e. ghee or olive oil), plus more for cooking omelets
  • 1 ½ tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 4 tbsp water
  • Sea salt to taste
  • In medium size skillet heat 2 tbsp of cooking fat over medium high heat.
  • Add chopped onions and cook until slightly golden, about 5-10 minutes, stirring often so the onions do not burn.
  • Turn down to low heat and stir in balsamic vinegar and salt to taste.
  • Add the spinach leaves until they just start to wilt. If using frozen spinach, leave the spinach in the pan long enough to warm it up.
  • Remove the onions and spinach from the pan and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together 2 eggs and 1tbsp of water until the yolk and whites are blended.
  • Re-heat the same skillet used for the onion and spinach over medium heat with 1 tbsp cooking fat.
  • Pour eggs into heated skillet making sure to coat the entire pan, use a spatula to stir the omelet gently while it cooks to allow uncooked parts to run underneath.
  • When the omelet is set fill ½ of the omelet with a ¼ of the onion spinach mixture, fold the other half of the omelet over the filling, cook for another minute.
  • Remove from heat and slide on to a plate.
  • Repeat the process with remaining ingredients.
