Recipe: Onion Frittata

I attempted to make a frittata this week. It came out very yummy. And I'm not the hugest fan of eggs so that's how I know it's good!


Here's how to make it:

Whisk 8 eggs along with 2/3 cup of Parmesan cheese, some rosemary, sage, salt, pepper, and chopped basil.

Put aside 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese.

Chop 1/3 cup of onion.

Brown the onions until soft, or  six minutes.

Cook your mixture in a pan until the bottom is browned, 4-5 minutes.

Add the ricotta cheese to the mixture.

Transfer to a cooking pan or skillet. Cook on 350 degrees for 10 min.

Here's what your delicious mixture will look like after it's cooked!

Then dish up a slice after it's cooled and add some more Parm!

 

Here's some quick facts about this dish and the ingredients in it:

Onions  have strong properties of anti-inflammation, contain Vitamin C, Iron, and Calcium.

Eggs are high in protein, contain Vitamin A, Iron, and Calcium. They are, however; very high in cholesterol (some nutritionists say its good cholesterol, but cholesterol is still cholesterol in my eyes.)

Parmesan is considered a low-fat cheese so that's the good news! It along with Ricotta contain Vitamin D and Calcium and moderate levels of fat and sodium.

....SO, overall it's a healthy version of a comfort food =]

Bon Appetit!
