3.      Wipe skillet clean and mist with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add 1/6 of the egg mixture. Cook 15 seconds, stir with a silicon spatula, then swirl to evenly recoat pan. Cook until just set and no longer wet, about 2 minutes.

4.      Sprinkle omelet with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange 2 tablespoons caramelized onions, 1/4 cup wilted arugula and 2 tablespoons goat cheese down center of omelet. Gently fold omelet into thirds over filling and slide onto a plate. Garnish with fresh arugula. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
