Onion Frittata

This classic onion frittata is a versatile vegetarian dish that celebrates simple, high-quality ingredients. Fragrant with fresh rosemary, sage, and basil, the base of whisked eggs and salty Parmesan provides a savoury foundation for the sweet, softened onions. The addition of creamy ricotta dollops creates pockets of richness that melt into the eggs as they bake, offering a lovely contrast in texture.

Ideal for a light lunch or a quick midweek supper, this recipe is as nourishing as it is easy to prepare. You can serve it warm straight from the frying pan or enjoy it at room temperature with a crisp green salad on the side. It is a fantastic option for meal prepping, as any leftovers make a delicious protein-rich addition to a packed lunch.
