Cauliflower & Caramalized Onion Frittata

The sweetness of the onion in this frittata along with the nuttiness of the roasted cauliflower is just divine!   Great served warm with a salad but is equally delicious cold.   I always think that a frittata is a great dish when you want a no fuss dish that is easy to make and tasty to eat. This dish will not disappoint.

To multi-task,  cook the cauliflower and onions at the same time.  I've also made this by throwing the cauliflower and onions together in a large frying pan and cooking slowly until both are golden.  Although just as nice, there's something about roasting a cauliflower that gives it a nuttier taste.

I used Parmesan cheese but other cheeses would be as equally as tasty.  Perhaps Feta or Cheddar?

This dish is rather a form of hunger torture as you make it though.  From the smell to the caramalised onions, to the roasted cauliflower.  It was nothing short of a miracle that both vegetables were added to the pan and not munched directly!
