Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 6 large eggs, 1 large onion (diced), 1 cup of crumbled goat cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and any fresh herbs you wish to use for garnish.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your frittata cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 6 large eggs. Whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. If you are using fresh herbs, you can chop some and add them to the egg mixture at this stage.
- Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion to the skillet.
- Sauté the onion for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent it from browning too much.
- Once the onion is ready, reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the sautéed onions in the skillet. Gently stir to combine, ensuring that the onions are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top of the frittata mixture.
- Cook the frittata on the stovetop for about 5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set. Do not stir during this time; allow the bottom to cook gently.
- After 5 minutes, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the frittata for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.
- Serve the frittata warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious onion and goat cheese frittata!
Tips
