Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 eggs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
Heat olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir in the caramelized red onions, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
Place the same skillet back on the stove over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is just set.
Remove from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm and garnish with additional parsley or feta, if desired.
