Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices smoked plant-based turkey bacon
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese (such as plant-based mozzarella or cheddar), shredded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley), chopped

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the onions: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced yellow onions with a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and cook slowly until onions are golden brown and tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the smoked plant-based turkey bacon: While the onions are caramelizing, cook the plant-based turkey bacon in a separate pan over medium heat until crisp. Chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  3. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs. Fold in the shredded plant-based cheese so it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Combine and cook the frittata: When the onions are caramelized, add the cooked plant-based turkey bacon to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the onions and bacon. Cook gently over low heat until the edges begin to set but the center remains slightly runny, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Finish under the broiler: Transfer the skillet to a preheated broiler and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the top is fully set and lightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Slowly caramelize onions for the best sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ease serving.
  • Let eggs reach room temperature before whisking to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overfill the skillet to allow eggs to cook evenly.
  • Add fresh herbs after cooking for extra brightness and color.
