Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 red onion ((about 9 ounces; 255 grams))
  • 1 cup frozen roasted corn ((I used Trader Joe's brand))
  • 9½ ounces smoked cheese, shredded ((269 grams))

Instruction

  • Cut the onion into quarters and then slice it thin. Shred the cheese.
  • Melt the butter in a Ninja Foodi set on sauté. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Don't brown the onions, just soften them. 
  • Add in the frozen corn towards the end of the onion cooking time to thaw it out. 
  • Stir the eggs and cheese together in a medium bowl. Shut off the Foodi. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the veggies, spreading it with the back of a spoon into an even layer. The mixture should reach the 3-4 cup mark inside the pot.  
  • Cook the frittata in the Ninja Foodi for 9-10 minutes on the “bake/roast” setting at 350°F (177°C). (Feel free to check on it after 6 minutes if you’re worried about overcooking it.) Use the ceramic-coated interior pot and the crisper lid.
  • When the frittata is done, it should pull away from the sides of the pot. The middle of the cooked frittata should be solid.
  • After cooling several minutes, you can carefully cut frittata slices and lift them out of the pot with a spatula. Do not try to remove the entire frittata from the pot at once unless it has been chilled. This frittata is best enjoyed warm.
  • Optional topping: While the frittata bakes, you can brown 2 tablespoons of butter on the stove in a skillet. Cook 1 lb. peeled raw shrimp (454 grams) seasoned with 1 tablespoon Cajun spice in the browned butter. Use as an optional topping on the frittata. 
  • Oven directions: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9-inch (22.9 cm) glass pie plate with cooking spray. Slice the onion and shred the cheese. Soften the onion in butter on the stovetop in a skillet. Add corn to the hot pan towards the end of cooking to thaw. Mix the eggs, cheese, and cooked veggies together in a large bowl. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan. Spread the mixture out evenly with the back of a spoon. Bake the frittata on a rack ⅓ down from the top of the oven for 30 minutes. While it bakes, you can prepare the optional seafood topping as described above (if you wish).
