Preparation

How to prepare Onion frittata

To prepare the onion frittata, first clean the onions and slice them about 0.39 inches thick 1. Place the onions in a non-stick pan with a 8-inch base where you have heated a drizzle of oil 2, season with salt, and cover with a lid: cook over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes 3.

In the meantime, crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt 4, pepper, and marjoram leaves 5, then beat with a whisk until you get a homogeneous mixture 6.

When the onions are well cooked but still whole, pour the egg mixture into the pan 7, making sure all the onions are covered. Cover with the lid and cook over low heat for 6-8 minutes 8. After this time, the frittata will be quite cooked and firm 9, cover with a plate and flip the pan to turn the frittata.

Slide the frittata back into the pan 10 and continue cooking for about 3-4 minutes, this time without the lid 11. Once perfectly cooked, the onion frittata is ready to be served 12!

The onion frittata can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a couple of days in an airtight container. Note that red onions will tend to lose color after cooking.
