Vegan omelette - a first for me :) I wasn't sure how it would turn out but it actually turned out great! The mixture was a little too fragile for the pan, but baking worked a treat. The omelette is a light, fluffy texture and you can add whatever herbs and spices you like. The caramelised onions a naturally sweet and the portobello mushrooms are a "meaty" and hearty addition.
Makes 3 medium size omelettes or 4 small-medium sized omelettes
Caramelised Onions and Mushrooms Ingredients
Heat olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and thyme and saute until they start to soften. Add the rest of the ingredients, cover and simmer over a low-medium heat for 20 - 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Omelette ingredients
Heat oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside. Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Spread the batter into 3-4 omelettes on the tray and place in the oven. Bake for around 12 minutes of until they start turning golden. Take out of the oven and carefully flip each omelette. Place back in the over for another 10 minutes or so. Set aside to cool slightly.
Serve warm with the onion mixture on top of the omelette with a handful of fresh spinach in the middle.
