Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until slightly browned and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, until softened.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet, ensuring it covers them. Cook on the stovetop for about 2 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata begin to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown on top.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before cutting into 4 wedges and serving warm.
