Caramelized Onion & Goat Cheese Frittata
This frittata combines caramelized onions, sweet red bell pepper, and wilted spinach folded into rich beaten eggs, topped with creamy goat cheese. It bakes to a firm yet tender texture with golden edges from oven finishing. The blend of savory vegetables and tangy chèvre creates a balanced flavor profile, suitable for brunch or a light dinner. Cooking ingredients directly in the skillet and finishing in the oven ensures even cooking and a nicely set center.

Ingredients
- ½ Tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ yellow onion thinly sliced, medium
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 red bell pepper cored, seeded, and chopped
- 2 cups spinach roughly chopped, fresh baby
- ¾ teaspoon salt divided, sea salt
- black pepper to taste, cracked
- 10 egg large
- ½ cup almond milk unsweetened
- 2 ounces goat cheese or Boursin cheese, chèvre, soft
- parsley for serving, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Add oil to ovenproof skillet (I used a 10 inch cast iron) over medium heat. Add the onion, ¼ tsp salt and a crack of pepper. Sauté until tender and golden, 8-10 minutes. Add the bell pepper and garlic and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook for another minute, until just wilted.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add milk, remaining salt and a crack of pepper and beat well with a whisk. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and use a spatula/spoon to press the vegetables down into the egg mixture so that the eggs cover the veggies completely.
- Crumble the chèvre over the top, then place the pan in the oven and bake until the middle is set and top is lightly golden, about 10-12 minutes
- Cut into 4 wedges and serve warm with fresh parsley.

Notes
- Cool the frittata completely before storing to prevent condensation that may spoil texture.
- Reheat slices gently in the microwave or on the stovetop; for crispiness, use an air fryer at 300ºF briefly.
- Freeze individual slices in airtight containers for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
