Lima Bean Frittata
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended and slightly frothy. Add the milk, parsley, and mint, then whisk to combine. Season generously to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a 10-inch skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes. Add the beans, garlic, and 2 teaspoons of the homemade za’atar and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Pour the egg mixture over the bean mixture. Let cook on the stovetop, without stirring, until the eggs just begin to set, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the frittata is golden and puffed this takes about 15 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve.
