Discover a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy fresh herbs with our Parsnip and Onion Frittata. This recipe combines the sweetness of parsnips and the savory flavor of onions, enhanced by fragrant herbs for a perfect breakfast or brunch dish.
Ingredients
- 3 parsnips, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, and thyme), chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grated cheese for topping
Preparation
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 8 minutes.
Next, add the sliced parsnips to the skillet. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the parsnips are tender and slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
If using cheese, sprinkle it on top of the egg mixture. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and golden on top.
Serving Suggestions
Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. It pairs well with a simple green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
