Caramelized Onion and Herb Frittata
Slowly cooking the onions for 30-40 minutes until caramelized makes for one special Frittata! The addition of smoked Gouda really sends it over the top. I cook lots of onions at the same time because they will last a week in the fridge and the extras are wonderful served with grilled steak or on top of a hamburger. They freeze well too.
Pre heat oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease a 10 inch oven proof skillet.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Caramelized Onions
- 3 medium size onions thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
The Frittata
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Canadian Bacon diced
- 1/4 cup jarred Roasted Red Pepper diced
- 3/4 cup shredded smoked Gouda
- 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
- 3 Tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground Sage
Instructions
Caramelized Onions
- Heat olive oil in an skillet over medium low heat, then stir in the sliced onions.
- Cook onions for 30 to 40 minutes over medium low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning. The onions should be very soft and a golden caramel color when done. Remove from heat and set aside.
The Frittata
- In a medium size bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Dice the Canadian Bacon and the roasted red pepper, shred the Gouda and set aside.
- Generously grease a 10 inch oven proof skillet. Sprinkle the Canadian Bacon and the roasted red pepper evenly over the skillet.
- Spread the caramelized onion over the bacon and peppers. Sprinkle the sage and fresh parsley evenly over the onions.
- Lastly, add the smoked Gouda. Pour the whisked eggs over the top, then place in a 375 degree oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are set. Test by placing a toothpick in the middle. It should come out clean.
- Remove the Frittata from the oven and set the oven to broil. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Frittata and broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is nicely browned. Remove from the oven.
- Let the Frittata rest for 5 minutes then cut into quarters and serve.
- Doesn't this look scrumptious? Well, it sure was!
