Frittata di Pesto

Course Appetizer
Cuisine Italian

Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Oven-safe skillet (cast iron or non-stick)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup of pesto store-bought or homemade
  • 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for a vegan option
  • 1/4 cup of milk or almond milk for dairy-free
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup of diced vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach
  • Optional: cherry tomatoes olives, or cooked protein (like chicken or sausage)

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the frittata cooks evenly.
  • Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
  • Incorporate the Pesto: Stir in the pesto and Parmesan cheese into the egg mixture until evenly blended.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: Heat your oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sauté the diced vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, until they are softened.
  • Combine and Cook: Pour the egg and pesto mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently to combine everything. Allow it to cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
  • Bake the Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Let It Stand: Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata stand for about 5 minutes. This allows it to firm up a bit.
  • Serve: Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or some crusty bread.
  • Variations
  • Vegetable Variations: Use seasonal vegetables such as asparagus, mushrooms, or broccoli.
  • Cheese Options: Substitute Parmesan with feta, goat cheese, or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
  • Protein Additions: Add cooked bacon, ham, or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Herb Substitutes: Try different herbs like chives, parsley, or dill if you want to mix up the flavor.
