Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until wilted.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top.
Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully cooked and the center is set.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Cut into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Tuscan Ricotta Frittata!
