Course Main Course
Cuisine Italian

Equipment

  • Equipment Needed:
  • Oven-safe skillet (or a baking dish)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup of grated cheese Parmesan, mozzarella, or your choice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook the Potatoes:
  • In an oven-safe skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced potatoes and onions. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned. Tip: You can cover the skillet with a lid to help the potatoes cook faster.
  • Prepare the Eggs:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add salt, pepper, and half of the grated cheese. If you’re using fresh herbs, chop and add them to the egg mixture.
  • Combine Ingredients:
  • Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, evenly distribute them in the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and onions. Stir gently to ensure everything is combined.
  • Cook on Stovetop:
  • Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
  • Bake the Frittata:
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and the top is lightly golden.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Once cooked, remove the frittata from the oven and let it stand for about 5 minutes. This will help it firm up a bit more. Slice it into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Variations
  • Veggie Loaded: Add diced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for a more nutritious frittata.
  • Meat Lovers: Incorporate cooked bacon, ham, or sausage for added flavor.
  • Herbed Frittata: Experiment with different herbs like thyme or chives for a fresh taste.
