How to Make Swiss Cheese Frittata With Potatoes And Caramelized Onions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 large onion, thinly sliced, salt, and pepper to taste.
  3. Cook, stirring frequently and adding water a teaspoon at a time to prevent burning, until onions are very soft and deep golden brown (15-20 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon sugar. Reduce heat and cook until onions are glazed (2-3 minutes).
  5. Keep caramelized onions warm.
  6. Parboil 1 pound small red potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch cubes, in salted water until almost tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and cool completely.
  7. In a 9-10 inch ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
  8. Add the potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Cook, turning occasionally, until potatoes are browned (12-15 minutes).
  10. Spread potatoes evenly in the skillet.
  11. Preheat broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  12. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the caramelized onions, and 1/2 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese until well combined.
  13. Pour egg mixture over the potatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  14. Using a rubber spatula, gently lift the cooked edges of the frittata and tilt the skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  15. Continue cooking until the top is almost set (approximately 5 minutes).
  16. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese.
  17. Broil for 1 minute, or until the frittata is puffed and golden brown.
