Perfectly delicious! Just loved this. And it's so, so easy to make. I used homemade ricotta (Jennifer Perillo's recipe . . the best!). Used a small yellow onion to make the smaller version as I did not have enough shallots. It worked fine. Loved how it caramelized a bit on the bottom of the pan when the frittata itself was cooking. Outstanding weeknight dinner!! ;o)
