- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over low heat. Add the onions and cook gently till very soft, letting them caramelise slightly.
- Transfer onions to a bowl, leaving behind any excess oil. To the bowl, add the eggs, cheese, breadcrumbs and salt and whisk well.
- Heat the frying pan with the oil over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, swirling the pan round to make sure the mixture spreads evenly. Cook 5 minutes or until the mixture on the bottom and the edges of the pan sets.
- Place a plate on top of the pan and carefully flip the frittata onto it. Slide the frittata back into the pan and cook on the other side for 5 minutes longer.
- Serve hot.
