Spam and Cheese Omelette with caramelized onions, garlic, herbs, and tomatoes

Spam and Cheese Omelette

Serves 1-2

Ingredients:
  1. 3 eggs (beaten) with a pinch of salt and pepper
  2. chopped tomato
  3. an onion (although if you're using an american size onion as opposed to Asian sizes, then just 1/3 will be good)
  4. 3-4 cloves garlic finely chopped/grated
  5. 4 slices spam cut into strips
  6. grated or diced quickmelt or your favorite cheese, as long as it does not smell too strongly
  7. dried herb mix like McCormick salt-free all purpose

Directions:
  1. Saute onions and garlic over oil with spam until onions caramelize (they soften and become more translucent), and then set aside.
  2. Mix chopped tomato, dried herb mix, 3/4 of sauted onions and garlic with the beaten eggs
  3. Put pan to medium high heat and then spread out mixture on pan evenly
  4. When eggs begin to cook/harden, put the cheese, remaining onions and garlic and spam on one half of the pan (see photo:)Spam and Cheese Omelette while cooking
  5. Lower heat
  6. When eggs have become opaque, fold it in half using a spatula (and maybe a fork/spoon too for extra support) to cover part with spam, cheese etc.
  7. Wait for about 3 minutes and then lift omelette onto a plate.
  8. Picture below shows what it looks like inside.
ENJOY! :D

  1. i make the same omelette except no tomato (it makes it too watery for me) and instead of spam i use Kelbasa.. and instead of quickmelt, i use Parmigiano Reggiano.. a bit more expensive but makes a really big difference :D also try using Gruyere cheese.. really good (sorry, im a cheese person) -marts
