Ingredients

1/4 cup heavy cream

12 large eggs

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 small yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 1 cup)

1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 3 cups)

2 teaspoons chopped sage

6 ounces Taleggio cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Directions

  1. Heat the broiler.
  2. Whisk the cream, eggs and some salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Heat the butter and oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the onions, squash and sage and saute until lightly browned and tender, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and wait 2 minutes to allow the pan to come down to temperature. Pour the egg mixture over the squash and onions and cook until the eggs start to set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and continue to cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 4 minutes.
  4. Place the frittata under the broiler and broil until the top is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from the pan and invert it onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve.
