Frittata di carciofi

Course Main Course, Side Dish
Cuisine Italian

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Whisk or fork
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Oven (optional, if you want to finish under the broiler)

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts fresh or canned, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or any cheese of your choice
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs optional: parsley, basil, or thyme for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Skillet: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add Artichokes: Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  • Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine Ingredients: Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed.
  • Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the mixture.
  • Cook the Frittata: Allow the frittata to cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes on the stove. As it cooks, use a spatula to gently lift the edges, letting any uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
  • Optional Oven Finish: For a golden top, you can place the skillet under a broiler for 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
  • Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat and let it stand for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps it set a little more and makes it easier to cut.
  • Garnish and Enjoy: Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
  • Variations
  • Vegetable Variation: Feel free to mix in other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Cheese Swap: Swap out Parmesan for mozzarella or feta for a different flavor profile.
  • Herb Infusion: Add fresh herbs like chives or dill to elevate the taste.
