Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 large pear
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Wash and core the pear, then slice it thinly into even wedges.
Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Swirl the pan to coat evenly as the butter melts.
Arrange the pear slices in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to soften slightly.
Pour the egg mixture over the pears, tilting the skillet gently to ensure it spreads evenly. Reduce the heat to low.
Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the eggs, then sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on the stovetop, without stirring, until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the skillet from the oven (use oven mitts as the handle will be hot!) and let the frittata cool for 2 minutes.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!
