Spinach & turmeric omelette with caramelized onions

The best way to eat an egg!

Today you can call me Sam-I-am, because I am encouraging everyone to try these green eggs. Dr. Seuss may be disappointed that I left off the ham but the yummy caramelized onions and turmeric will make everyone happy.

Did I say turmeric? Yes there is also turmeric root in this yummy omelette. I made this recipe while on vacation in Ocho rios. I really took a chance depending on a supermarket I knew nothing off to provide the goods for this recipe. However I was pleasantly surprised to find spinach and little bags of a ginger looking item they labeled as curry.

I was like curry? What the hell is that? You know I had to buy it. Took it to the apartment, googled it and found out it was turmeric root. How exciting, I easily decided to throw it in the omelette as well. Its smell is very strong and the color stains everything so beware. However the omlette was absolutely divine, especially with the sweet caramelized onions and cheese in the center. You can truly taste the spinach it the omelette, extremely prevalent, which is exactly what I was after.
