Caramelized Onion Frittata
PIN THIS RECIPE!I don’t even know if I’m spelling frittata right. I really don’t. And spell check doesn’t either. Shame on you spell check. Get with the times bro. If you don’t know how to spell every cooking word on the planet, how the hell am I suppose to? That’s probably why I call every egg thing I bake, an egg bake. Because it makes sense. Frittata doesn’t. One of you is totally going to comment and explain where the term frittata came from. I just know it. No-it-alls.
Guess what I’ve seen lately!? Some people in extra cool PaleOMG shirts!! Men and women! Studs, to be exact. Check them out!!
If you have a picture in your shirt, I would LOVE to see it!! So cool to see people sporting those shirts around town!! Also, I think couples should start wearing these together. It would be disgusting and people would probably laugh at you, but if you and your happy significant other both wear PaleOMG shirts, send a pic my way! That would be badass!! Paleo-eating, PaleOMG-representing couples are the greatest couples known to man. Fact.
I got a blood blister the other day. It’s now black. I should get rid of that. I’m gross.

Was Tyler’s croch area talking. Notice the whiteboard is the shape of those bubble talking thingy when you read comics, just saying, nice tyler. 🙂
OMG it is!!
I’m so awkward! Thank god I have this shirt to make me look cooler than I actually am!
no you’re awesome!!
Frittata, its italian root word means “to fry”…after world war two, it basically became the italian version of the open faced omelette.
haha i could have guessed it would be you!
Look at it this way, if you are ever in NY and get on cash cab…i’m your mobile shout out 😉
boom
I think the “frittata” sounds intimidating. I like “egg bake” better. I can make egg bake.
toooootally agree!
OMG! (see what I did there? I know amazing I’m married!) I think I just drooled on my workstation!! Making this SUNDAY!!

Good work Scott
ARE YOU READY FOR A TRUE STORY? I’m in Springfield, MO visiting my family. I went to the Springfield CrossFit gym for a few workouts. We were talking about Paleo (I don’t know why…I don’t even eat Paleo, but your blog entertains me and I do love the recipes). ANYWAYS um, lots of people at the gym know and love your blog. YOU.ARE.FAMOUS.!
In other news….I got 7 RX handstand pushups with kipping. WHAT WHAT!?
that’s so crazy Brianna!!!! how cool!! and that is BADASS! congrats!!! its the best feeling when you nail those down!
sometimes all I want for dinner and/or dessert is one huge caramelized onion. Lovely, this sounds amazing.
Aaaaaagreed
In my oven right now! Perfect for this random snow day that we are having. Thanks Juli!!

This looks great! I, too, make quite a few “egg bakes” as they are simple and delicious. Can’t wait to see the new cooking vids!
I especially appreciate the garnish in the photos
thank goodness for that garnish
Made it, and it was delicious! Sausage & caramelized onions, yuuumomummonom…

A++++++, Juli!

★★★★★
Thanks Karen!
Just made this and omg can’t wait for breakfast!! Every one of your recipes that I’ve made have been fantastic! Took our caramel bars and chocolate coconut bark to my CrossFit Paleo potluck yesterday and everyone loved them!! Thanks for the great recipes and all the laughs I get from reading your blogs!!
★★★★★
glad they liked them heidi!!
Hey Juli, love all your posts and your recipes are the BOMB!!! What size baking dish did you use for this recipe and for the Mexican Hash Egg Bake?
Nevermind, duh….. read the recipe Sheila. Please remove the previous post.
lol you’re great sheila!
This is terrific! I made it this morning for breakfast. I’m beyond thankful that you post such amazing recipes. My husband and I were ready to give up on Paleo. Not now!!
You saved us Juli. 🙂
★★★★★
Don’t ever give up!! Life is too delicious when you eat paleo!!
Hi. My gluten free buddy and I (a newbie paleo) just found you yesterday. We talk about food all day and have decided you’re our new favorite person. This looks yummy and we think you’re awesome. That is all.
★★★★★
Thanks so much Michelle!! Hope you like the recipes!
I don’t like eggs and the only reason I try to get them down is b/c everyone on paleo advocates them. Seriously, I have to throw dozens of eggs away b/c they go bad before I eat them.
I had eggs in the frig and thought, I’ll try this before they go bad. This was SOOOO GOOOD!!!! Like fire good!!! I couldn’t believe it. The sausage and carmelized onions add a sweet and savory taste that masks that eggy taste. SOOOOO VERY good!
That’s freaking awesome! Glad you liked it!! Eggs need some dressing up. They kinda suck by themselves
“A ++++++++++, Ralphie!”
This was great! Quick and easy….I also added portabella mushrooms…delish!!!!!
Thank you- your blog is great!

Do you put any oil in the pan to cook the sausage? If so, what do you use?
No the sausage will have enough fat in it!
Is there a print-friendly version of these recipes? I click the print link but it just makes the same page reload in another tab..
Hey BC, some other people have come across that issue as well, but I haven’t been able to find the issue. I’ll keep working on that. So sorry!
Any updates on this? I’m having the same issue and I tried today. Thanks. 🙂
We can’t seem to find a problem Jaime!
I print out the recipes all of the time and they look great. Cut and Paste. Copy the title into Word, then a good photo, then the ingredients and instructions. Make a few adjustments in Word and it will look great, and not really rocket science.

We usually do our carmelized onion frittatta with bacon(like a quiche Lorraine-only its her latin cousin. ) Will have to try the sausage version. I frequently drop whatever random veggies we have on hand into our frittattas. Asparagus is particularly nice with the eggs.

Juli,
I’ve made many of your recipies over the past year and have LOVED every one of them! Simple, healthy and most importantly, fun!
Last night, I went out on a limb and made your Carmelized Onion Fritata for my non-Paleo coworkers. (It was my turn to bring in breakfast, and I didn’t feel like poisoning them with donuts and bagels…like every other friday.) I’m happy to report that everyone loved the fritata! (I kind of feel like I tricked them…) My fave part is the use of coconut oil to grease the dish. Brilliant!
Thanks so much for sharing these recipies with us, and for pretty much just being awesome.
I made it for breakfast this morning with mild chicken sausage and added parsley….amazing!
★★★★★
OMG,, made this today… delissssshhhhhhh

Juli,
Thank you so much for this recipe. It tastes amazing and I make 2 of them on Sunday’s. When they cool, I pack them in baggies and my hubby and I have breakfast for the week. I can’t thank you enough for a delish and easy breakfast.
Holy crap! This was amazing! I had a PaleOMG cook fest yesterday, made this for my breakfast for the next few days just like Liz. I wouldn’t change a single thing. So delish. Almost tastes like there’s cheese in it to me. I also love that there are so few ingredients! Easy peasy.
★★★★★
Made this tonight in preparation of a busy week. I added some spinach and a couple extra eggs to make enough for 5 days and a husband that will inevitably end up having some too
Nothing makes me happier than coming across a recipe and all the ingredients are already lurking in my fridge/ pantry! I love caramelized onions. I also topped this with chopped green onion too! Yum!!
This was delish!! Thanks!
glad you liked it Micha!
I love the flavor in this frittata. I baked it in an 8 x 8 casserole dish with no lid. I ended up having to make it at least 10 minutes longer then stated in order for the eggs to sell. I just wondered if anyone else had this problem? Or if I should have used a bigger dish?
OK, LET ME TRY THAT AGAIN…I had to BAKE it longer to get the eggs to SET.
