Caramelized Onion and Red Pepper Frittata

Here is an easy recipe, that is very basic, and just about anything can be added to it. Onions are my favorite food, and caramelizing them are my favorite way to eat them, so I add those to a cast iron skillet along with some julienned red pepper slices, allowed that to sit in the oven for a while stirring occasionally, then threw in a couple beaten eggs and about 15 minutes later dinner was ready. Since I don't eat a real breakfast a whole lot, I don't shy away from having breakfast for dinner, and this is definitely an easy way to make that happen. Its much easier than an omelet, just set and forget the eggs, and in no time at all will your frittata be ready. I used onions and red peppers because thats what I had on hand, but really anything that you would want in an omelet works in a frittata, but being able to throw in whatever you have available is another reason why this is a great, and easy dinner recipe, there's no need to make any special trips to the store or anything like that. So next time you're feeling breakfast for dinner, throw what ever you have in the fridge together and make yourself a tasty frittata.

Caramelized Onions and Red Pepper Frittata

Serves 1-2

3 eggs

2 onions, thinly sliced

1 red pepper, julienned

2 tbs oil

2 tbs milk

pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

salt and pepper

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F. In cast iron skillet, or any other oven safe pan place the onions and oil, season with a little bit of salt and pepper and place in oven. After about 15 minutes stir and add the red peppers and add a little more salt and pepper. Check on the onions and peppers about every 15 minutes giving them a stir, until they are caramelized as much as you want them to be (I'm pretty sure I let mine cook for about 1 hour).

Break the eggs into a bowl, season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, and add the milk. Whisk all ingredients together then pour in the skillet with onions and peppers. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Take the frittata out and serve in pizza style wedges.
