Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Onion: Chop 1/2 cup of onion and thinly slice an additional 1/4 cup of onion.
- Garlic: Mince 1/2 garlic clove.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté them for about 3-4 minutes, until they become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth.
- Season the egg mixture with 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Stir in the thinly sliced onions.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed onions and garlic in the skillet.
- Stir gently to ensure the sautéed onions and garlic are evenly distributed in the egg mixture.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top. You can check if it's done by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven. Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the olive oil to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Feel free to experiment by adding other ingredients like spinach, mushrooms, or cheese for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Cut the onions finely to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the eggs.
- If you prefer a fluffier texture, separate the egg yolks from the whites, beat the whites to soft peaks, and fold them back into the yolks before cooking.
- If you're watching your salt intake, you can reduce the salt amount or use a salt substitute.
- Serve with a side salad or some crusty bread to make the meal more substantial.
In summary, the Garlic and Onion Frittata is a versatile and tasty dish that can be whipped up with minimal ingredients and effort. The combination of fresh and powdered onions and garlic ensures a depth of flavor that will leave you satisfied and coming back for more. Serve it hot straight from the skillet or at room temperature for a picnic or packed lunch. Enjoy your culinary creation!
