Ingredients

Scale

Caramelized Onions

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Protein & Cheese

  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or crumbled

Seasonings & Others

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add thinly sliced onions and salt. Stir occasionally and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes until onions turn deep golden brown, soft, and sweet.
  2. Cook the smoked turkey bacon: In a separate pan, cook the smoked turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy but not burnt. Drain excess fat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, fresh herbs, and natural gelling agent until well combined. Fold in the plant-based cheese and cooked smoked turkey bacon gently.
  4. Combine and cook the frittata: Add the caramelized onions into the egg mixture and stir gently just to combine. Preheat a skillet or oven-safe pan with some olive oil, then pour the mixture evenly into it.
  5. Cook and finish under the broiler: Cook the frittata over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the edges start to set. Transfer the pan to a preheated oven or place under a broiler for about 3 to 5 minutes until the top is fully set and lightly golden.

Notes

  • Cook onions low and slow to unlock the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Use room temperature eggs for easier whisking and more even texture.
  • Preheat the pan before adding the egg mixture to prevent sticking.
  • Avoid over-stirring after combining to keep the frittata tender and fluffy.
  • The frittata is done when it is firm yet slightly springy in the center.
