2 cups red onion - chopped

1/4 cup chopped shallots (optional)

In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add red onion, shallots (if desired), and sugar. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until tender and golden, stirring often. Remove 1/4 cup cooked onion mixture and set aside. Stir green onion, mustard, and thyme into skillet.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl beat together eggs, water, salt and pepper. Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese. Pour into the skillet.
Bake at 375 degree for 15 minutes or until completely set. Top with remaining cheese and the rest of the onion mixture.
