A favourite from Sophie Grigson’s ” Sunshine Food “.The onions take some time to caramalise but this can be done in advance.
Ingredients
- 1 large onion peeled and sliced
- 4 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 4 large free range eggs
- 3 tbsps freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Servings:
Instructions
- Fry the onions very gently in half the olive oil until very soft and golden brown- this will take about 30 minutes so dont rush it. Sprinkle over the sugar and cook for a further 3-5 minutes until caramelized then leave to cool.
- Beat the eggs with the parmesan, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper then stir in the onion.
- Heat the remaining oil in a heavy based or non stick frying pan. Pour in half the mixture, making sure it gets its share of the onion. Let it run in the pan but don't expect it to fill the pan completely. Reduce the heat to moderate and let the frittata cook until almost set right through. Lift onto a plate then invert the frittata back into the pan uncooked side down and cook for 2 minutes more or until the underneath is slightly browned.
- Repeat with the remaining frittata mixture and serve warm.
