How to Make Onion Frittata

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large oven-safe skillet (10-inch) over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 small diced chili pepper (adjust to taste), and 1 medium onion (about 1 cup), thinly sliced. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the onions are a deep golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  3. Gently fold the cooked onions into the egg mixture.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Pour the egg and onion mixture into the skillet.
  5. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly browned.
  6. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown on top.
  7. Let cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve hot.
