Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten and slightly frothy.
Add the ricotta, Parmesan cheese, chopped chives, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Let the butter melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Cook on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and golden on top.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Cut into wedges and serve warm, or let it cool to room temperature for serving later.
