Steps:

  • Cook onions, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until onions are golden brown, soft and caramelized.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 large eggs
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
3 large fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
3 large fresh sage leaves, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1/3 cup whole-milk ricotta

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl; set aside. Heat oil in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; saute until soft, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Stir in egg mixture. Spoon dollops of ricotta evenly over.
  • Cook until frittata begins to set, about 2 minutes. Place in oven; bake until just set, 7-9 minutes. Slide the frittata onto a platter. Cut into wedges; serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To caramelize onions properly, cook them low and slow over medium-low heat.
  • For a more flavorful frittata, use a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and goat cheese.
  • To make sure the frittata is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the frittata is done.
  • For a crispy frittata, cook it in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
  • Frittatas can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can also be packed for a picnic or lunch on the go.
