Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Yellow onions
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 medium Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Canned chickpeas
• 6 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, golden, and caramelized (about 20 minutes).

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves while onions cook. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas.

Step 4

Add minced garlic to the skillet with the onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chickpeas and a pinch of black pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes, then remove skillet from heat.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, remaining salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the onion and chickpea mixture in the skillet. Use a spatula to gently distribute the mixture evenly.

Step 8

Dab 1 tablespoon of butter onto the top of the frittata in small pieces for added richness.

Step 9

Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
