Omelette over Easy Style
"I am not usually crazy about omlettes because I like the runny yolk of an over easy egg. With this omlette you'll get both... the delicious flavor of an omelette, with crispy sweet onion and cheese, and you'll also get the nice rich yolk of the egg running out of the omlette as you cut into it. Delicious!"

- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
1
ingredients
- 1⁄4 onion, medium sized sliced VERY thinly
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded
- cooking oil
- salt and pepper
directions
- Heat the oil in the skillet on medium high and place the onion in the skillet in a single layer to brown and crisp.
- Meanwhile, separate the eggs and set the yolk aside. Scramble the whites and season with salt and pepper to. taste.
- When the onions have browned and start to turn crisp, sprinkle half the cheese into the pan over the onions.
- Pour the scrambled egg white into the pan, and rotate to fully coat the bottom. Let the bottom set up, then while tilting the pan to the side, use the spatula to lift a portion of the cooked bottom so that the liquid mixture still on top will flow underneath and cook.
- Do this all around the skillet until there is very little liquid egg left on top.
- Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and gently add the yolk off center.
- Carefully lift up one edge of the omelet, and fold it over to the other edge, trapping the yolk inside.
- Let it heat a minute longer to warm to set the center, then slide the omelet onto your serving plate.

I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes.
Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too!
My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much!
I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
