Description

Fresh herbs and creamy ricotta make this frittata a simple yet satisfying meal. Perfect for brunch or a light dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 15 basil leaves
  • 5 sage leaves
  • 10 thyme leaves
  • 2 large eggs
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • White pepper
  • 7 oz (200 g) fresh ricotta
  • tbsp whole milk
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the herbs, then finely chop them with kitchen scissors.
  2. Beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and ricotta. Add the milk and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the mixture is homogeneous, add the chopped herbs and mix again.
  3. Pour the mixture into a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake at 180°C (356°F) for 15 minutes.
  4. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk ricotta instead of part-skim.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried herbs (a mix of basil, sage, and thyme) for the fresh herbs.
  • To prevent sticking, lightly grease the parchment paper with olive oil before pouring in the frittata mixture.
