Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp. butter or olive oil
  • 2 white onions sliced into half moons
  • 1 bulb garlic roughly chopped
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 bunch green onions sliced
  • 200 grams smoked salmon cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 150 grams goat cheese
  • pinch of sea salt and pepper
  • butter or oil to grease the pie plate
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9 inch pie plate liberally with butter or your favourite oil.
  2. Begin heating a large frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Cut the top off your onions, leaving the root end attached. Place the onions flat edge down on a cutting board and cut in half. Remove peel and cut into half moon shapes.
  4. Add oil to frying pan and coat thoroughly then add onions. Stirring to cover in oil. You may want to add a pinch of sea salt here. It works best if you cover the frying pan at this stage.
  5. While onions are cooking, roughly chop garlic then add to frying pan.
  6. Continue stirring onions every couple of minutes while you prep the rest of your ingredients.
  7. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the 8 eggs until light yellow and fluffy.
  8. Add green onions, smoked salmon, and crumble in the goat cheese. Stir to combine and add salt and pepper.
  9. Once onions are caramelized (a dark brown), remove from heat and stir into egg mixture.

  10. Pour into the pie plate, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 30 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centre is firm.

  11. Remove from oven, let cool a couple of minutes then cut into 8 even slices.

  12. Serve with extra goat cheese, avocado, cilantro, green onion, or any other garnish you’d like!
