Caramelized Onion, Red Pepper and Zucchini Frittata
Description
The Caramelized Onion, Red Pepper and Zucchini Frittata features thinly sliced white onions cooked slowly until golden, creating a sweet and savory base. The addition of diced red bell pepper and matchstick-cut zucchini provides both color and texture, softened gently before adding the egg mixture. Whisked eggs with grated Parmesan add richness and a slight umami note. Cooking begins on the stovetop until the eggs start to set, then continues in a 400°F oven until fully cooked. The frittata is warm and tender, with a golden surface and a blend of soft vegetables inside.
This frittata suits a brunch, light dinner, or a savory breakfast. It can be sliced into four portions and served warm, readily paired with a simple salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 1 white onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 1/2 cups zucchini (diced into matchsticks)
- 6 large egg
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Over medium-low heat, heat oil in a 10-inch skillet. Stir in onion and cook until slightly brown, about 10 minutes. Add peppers and cook 5 more minutes, then add zucchini. Season with salt and pepper and cook 3 more minutes stirring occasionally.
- In a medium bowl whisk eggs, Parmesan, salt and pepper.
- Add eggs to the skillet making sure eggs cover all the vegetables. When the edges begin to set (about 2 minutes) move skillet to oven.
- Cook about 10-15 minutes, or until frittata is completely cooked.
