Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 150 grams mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Chop the fresh parsley and basil finely, and stir them into the egg mixture.
Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata begin to set.
Scatter the mozzarella cubes evenly over the top of the frittata.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (using oven mitts!) and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
