Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium, non-stick frying pan heat onions until they begin to sweat. Add broth, tarragon and pepper. Cover and simmer onions until golden and all the liquid has evaporated, 10-15 min.
  2. Remove onions from pan.
  3. Beat together eggs, water and salt.
  4. Once the onions have been removed from the frying pan, coat the pan with a little cooking spray.
  5. Pour eggs into the pan, cover, and cook over medium heat until the eggs are firm 5-7 minutes.
  6. Once the top of the eggs is no longer runny, distribute onions over half of the eggs. Layer the  cheese over top of the onions.
  7. Carefully fold the non-onion and cheese half over the filling.
  8. Cover, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
