How to Make Caramelized Onion Tortilla
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced.
- Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Reduce heat to low.
- Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and golden brown (about 45 minutes). Let cool for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently stir the caramelized onions into the egg mixture.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the egg-onion mixture into the hot skillet.
- Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Then, gently loosen the edges with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking until the eggs are almost set but still slightly moist (about 10-12 minutes).
- Place a large plate over the skillet.
- Holding the plate and skillet firmly together, invert them to transfer the tortilla to the plate.
- Carefully slide the tortilla back into the skillet, browned side up.
- Cook for 5 minutes, or until the bottom is browned and the inside is cooked through but still moist.
- Slide the tortilla onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Garnish with fresh sage leaves (optional).
