Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Oven-safe skillet or frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream for a richer taste
  • 1 cup mixed salumi such as prosciutto, salami, or mortadella, chopped
  • 1 cup cheese such as mozzarella, parmesan, or fontina, grated
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers chopped, any color
  • 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for cooking
  • Fresh herbs such as parsley or basil, chopped, optional for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the frittata cooks evenly.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients
  • Chop the salumi and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  • Grate the cheese if you’re not using pre-grated cheese.
  • Step 3: Whisk the Eggs
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. The mixture should be light and frothy.
  • Step 4: Sauté the Vegetables
  • Heat the olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and bell peppers, sautéing until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Step 5: Add the Salumi
  • Add the chopped salumi to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Step 6: Combine the Mixture
  • Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed ingredients in the skillet.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on top.
  • Allow it to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set.
  • Step 7: Bake the Frittata
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.
  • Step 8: Cool and Serve
  • Once done, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  • Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  • Variations
  • Vegetarian: Replace salumi with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.
  • Cheese Swap: Try different cheeses like goat cheese or cheddar.
  • Herbed Frittata: Add fresh herbs like dill or chives for an extra flavor boost.
