I'm a decadent and comforting breakfast dish, loaded with the creamy richness of cheddar cheese and the subtle smokiness of paprika. My fluffy eggs and caramelized onions are the perfect base for a satisfying morning meal
Ingredients
- eggs
- smoked paprika
- shredded cheddar cheese

Method
- 1Crack 4-6 eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together with a fork until the whites and yolks are fully incorporated.

- 3Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 9-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- 4Add 1/2 cup of diced onion to the skillet and sauté until it is translucent and starting to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
- 5Pour the egg mixture over the onion in the skillet and cook until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
- 6Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the frittata is golden brown on top.

- 8Return the skillet to the stovetop over low heat and let the cheese melt and bubble for 1-2 minutes.
