  • Non-stick pan
  • Mandolin

Preparation

  • Step 1 - Onion frittata, the perfect omelette for a quick meal!
    Peel and cut the onion into thin slices using the mandolin (if you don't have one you can cut thin strips with a knife).
  • Step 2 - Onion frittata, the perfect omelette for a quick meal!
    Pour olive oil into the pan and add the onion slices, then cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally (the onions should be translucent).
  • Step 3 - Onion frittata, the perfect omelette for a quick meal!
    Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the grated parmesan, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper and mix everything well.
  • Step 4 - Onion frittata, the perfect omelette for a quick meal!
    When the onions are cooked, spread them evenly across the bottom of the pan. Then add the beaten egg mixture, making sure it is evenly distributed (hold the pan by the handle and rotate it to spread the mixture). Cook the frittata for about 7 minutes over medium/low heat with the lid on.
  • Step 5 - Onion frittata, the perfect omelette for a quick meal!
    Check if the edges come off easily and if the bottom is well cooked. Then turn the onion frittata using a plate (or flat lid).
  • Step 6 - Onion frittata, the perfect omelette for a quick meal!
    Continue cooking on the other side for about 4/5 minutes over medium heat, without a lid.
  • Step 7 - Onion frittata, the perfect omelette for a quick meal!

Observations:

Can I store the onion frittata?
You can store the frittata in the refrigerator for 2 days, tightly covered with cling film or placed in an airtight container.

What can I use instead of grated parmesan?
For the onion frittata, grated grana padano or grated pecorino will also work. If using pecorino, add less salt to the beaten eggs.

Can I make the onion frittata in the oven?
Of course, once the onions are cooked, add them to the beaten eggs and mix. Then transfer everything to a dish with baking paper at the bottom and bake at 390°F (200°C) for around 20/25 minutes.

Which onions are best to use in a frittata?
Use mild-tasting onions, like white onions!
