French Onion Frittata

French Onion Frittata

This is meal is perfect for breakfast or dinner. The caramelized onions, roasted potatoes, eggs, cheese, and fresh chives make for tasty meal. I roasted tomatoes and topped them with balsamic glaze for an added burst of flavor.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil (I used a garlic basil infused olive oil)

2 tablespoons butter

1 sweet onion sliced

4 cloves garlic minced

1/2 teaspoon ground thyme

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

3 red potatoes sliced thinly

2 cups grated sharp cheddar

12 large eggs beaten

2 tablespoons fresh chives diced

1 tomato sliced

drizzle of balsamic glaze

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Add 1 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to a nonstick skillet and heat to medium.
  3. Add the onions, garlic, and thyme. Cook stirring the onions until they brown for 14-16 minutes.
  4. Add the balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1-2 more minutes.
  5. Remove onions to a plate and set aside.
  6. Add another tablespoon of olive oil and remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt.
  7. Spread out the potato slices over the olive oil and butter and cook for 5 minutes stirring to coat both sides of the potatoes with the olive oil mixture.
  8. Turn the heat down to low.
  9. Press the potatoes down in a single layer over the base of the pan.
  10. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the potatoes.
  11. Add the onions over the cheese.
  12. Pour the eggs over the onions.
  13. Sprinkle the chives on top.
  14. Bake for 20 minutes-25 minutes until eggs are set.
  15. I served this with sliced tomatoes brushed with olive oil and topped with salt and pepper that I roasted for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.
