Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 500 g Onions 3 large
- 6 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Milk
- Salt to taste
- 30-40 g Parmesan cheese 2-3 Tbsp
Instructions
To cook the onions:
- Halve the onions then slice them (not too thick and not too thin!)
- Saute the onions in olive oil for 5 minutes on a medium-high heat, stirring often. Do not let them brown. Sprinkle them with some salt.
- When the onions are becoming translucent, add water to just cover them. Turn the heat down to medium-low.
- Simmer the onions for approximately 30 minutes, stirring very gently every so often.
- Turn the heat up to medium-high and let the water boil off. This will take about 10 minutes. Be very vigilant that they don't burn!
- Leave the onions to cool.
To make the frittata:
- Beat the remaining ingredients together.
- Add the onion and mix in. Meanwhile heat olive oil in a frying pan.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan and turn the setting to low heat. Put a tight-fitting lid on the pan and let cook slowly until the frittata is completely set. (about 15 minutes)
- Slide the frittata onto a plate and let cool. It tastes best when it is tepid or at room temperature.
