Frittata with potatoes, caramelized onions, and aromatic herbs

Ingredients (serves 3-4)

Frittata inspired by the Spanish tortilla, reinterpreted with caramelized onions – perfect for breakfast, brunch or even takeaway.

  • 6 mountain eggs

  • 2 medium potatoes

  • 1 big onion

  • 50–70 g cheese (telemea, cottage cheese or mix)

  • 2–3 tablespoons oil

  • salt, pepper

  • Oregano or rosemary (optional)

Steps

Cook the potatoes

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Fry them lightly in a little oil or steam them until they are tender, without falling apart.

Caramelize the onions

Thinly slice the onion and sauté in oil over low heat until golden and slightly sweet. Add a pinch of salt to speed up the process.

Prepare the egg mixture

Beat the eggs with salt, pepper and, if desired, aromatic herbs. Add the potatoes, onion and diced or grated cheese, mixing gently.

Bake the frittata

Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled pan or tray. Cook for 3–4 minutes on the stove over low heat, then transfer to the oven for 10–15 minutes at 180 °C, until set.

Portion and serve

Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then slice. It's equally good warm or at room temperature.

tips & tricks

You can also add leftover vegetables from other meals (peppers, zucchini, mushrooms) for an "anti-waste" option.

If you don't want to use the oven, just cook on the stove, with a lid, over very low heat, turning the frittata with a plate.
