This isn’t just your typical diner style spanish omelette. It’s loaded with caramelized onions, smoky chorizo sausage, sautéed kale and garlic, sprinkle a little feta cheese if you’re into that, regardless this omelette is fantastic and will get any day off to a great start. I’m not a morning person, but I have a little person that pulls my hair until I finally roll out of bed at 7am. Seriously I’m trying to be better, this new season of motherhood and early mornings isn’t going to change anytime soon. Every morning I try and think of what I’m grateful for while I’m still laying in bed, this simple practice sets such a positive tone for the day. Hearty breakfasts like this one make mornings all the better, I let the onions caramelize for an hour while I sip my coffee and the house fills with inviting smells. I will become a morning person, yes, I will.
- 4-6 eggs ( I do 3 per person)
- 1 tsp oil or fat of choice
- 1 large spanish onion, sliced
- ½ a bunch of kale, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ C cured chorizo sausage, chopped
- a few green onions, chopped
- ¼ C feta (optional)
- 2 lemon wedges (optional)
- Heat a medium sized frying pan or skillet and add oil or fat (I used bacon fat)
- Add onions and turn heat to medium, let the onions gain some colour before turning the heat down and covering for up to an hour (you can skip this step if you don't want caramelized onions.)
- Add chorizo and garlic, turn the heat up and sautee for a few minutes before adding kale, cook kale until it just begins to wilt. Remove from pan and set aside.
- For the omelette, whip 3 eggs together, add a touch of oil or fat to your hot pan, pour the eggs in a steady stream and turn down the heat. Use a spatula to pull the egg from the edges to the middle allowing uncooked egg to fill in the gap. Cover for 1 minute.
- Add half the chorizo mixture along the middle of the omelette and feta if you like. Cover for another minute and plate. Repeat for however many omelettes you want to make. Adorn with green onions and a squeeze of lemon.
