🍳 Ham & Cheese Omelet in Onion Shells

⏱️ Time Breakdown:

 * Prep time: 25-35 minutes (includes onion boiling & cooling)

 * Cook time: 20-25 minutes

 * Total time: ~45-60 minutes

 * Servings: 4

🧾 Ingredients:

🧅 For the Onion Shells:

 * 2 large yellow onions (as big as possible)

 * 1 tsp salt (for boiling water)

🍳 For the Omelet Filling:

 * 8 large eggs

 * 100g (approx. 3.5 oz) cooked ham, finely diced

 * 80g (approx. 3 oz / ¾ cup) shredded mozzarella cheese

 * Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 * 1 tbsp olive oil (for baking dish)

🧀 For the Topping & Garnish:

 * 30g (approx. ¼ cup) grated Parmesan cheese

 * 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (for serving)

🍳 Instructions:

 * Prepare Onion Shells: Cut off both ends of the onions, but keep them mostly intact. Make a single vertical cut from top to bottom, cutting into the center but not all the way through. [1, 2]

 * Boil Onions: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (add 1 tsp salt). Carefully place the whole onions in the boiling water and boil for 10-15 minutes, or until the outer layers are tender enough to separate easily. [1, 3, 2]

 * Cool & Separate: Remove onions from boiling water and immediately transfer them to an ice water bath or let them cool on a cutting board for at least 10-15 minutes. [1, 2] Once cool enough to handle, carefully peel off the outer layers to create individual "cups" or shells. You'll likely get 2-3 usable large shells per onion. Finely chop any smaller inner onion parts and set aside (you can add these to the omelet mix for extra flavor!).

 * Preheat Oven & Prep Dish: Preheat your oven to 190°C / 375°F. Lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish with olive oil.

 * Make Omelet Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined and slightly frothy. Stir in the diced ham, shredded mozzarella, and the finely chopped inner onion parts (if using). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

 * Assemble: Place the prepared onion shells into the greased baking dish. Carefully spoon the omelet mixture into each onion shell, filling them generously but not overflowing.

 * Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet mixture is set and the edges of the onion shells are lightly golden.

 * Parmesan Finish: Remove from oven, sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese, and return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and golden brown.

 * Serve Hot: Carefully remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your gourmet breakfast!
