Description
A rustic Italian egg dish featuring sweet caramelized onions, this frittata is simple, flavorful, and perfect for any meal of the day.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 15–20 minutes until deeply golden and caramelized.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, Parmigiano Reggiano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Once the onions are caramelized, spread them evenly in the skillet.
- Pour the egg mixture over the onions and tilt the pan to distribute evenly.
- Cook on medium-low heat without stirring for about 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly runny.
- To finish, either flip the frittata carefully to cook the top side for another 2–3 minutes, or place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 2–3 minutes until fully set and lightly golden.
- Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron or non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
- Cook onions slowly to achieve a deep caramelized flavor.
- For a lighter version, substitute milk with a splash of water or omit cheese.
- Tastes great served warm or at room temperature.
