FRITTATA ALLE ERBETTE (BAKED HERB OMELETTE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a round baking dish with olive oil and line with parchment paper.
• Beat eggs in a bowl until frothy; add milk, basil, rosemary, mint, thyme, salt, and pepper and mix well. Mix honey and lemon zest into Greek yogurt. Stir yogurt mixture and Scamorza cheese into eggs. Pour egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set in the center, about 15 minutes.

HERB FRITTATA

Steps:

• Thoroughly butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch nonstick skillet. If 2 tablespoons are not sufficient, use more butter. Place the pan over low heat; when the butter becomes warm, add chives or onions. Heat gently, just until they give off a little fragrance. Add the herbs and greens and, if necessary, a little more butter. Stir so that all the flavors mingle.
• While the greens are heating, beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese and a little pepper into a large bowl. Add the egg mixture to the greens and stir with a fork, taking care to avoid scraping the fork along the bottom of the pan. While working with the fork in 1 hand, shake the pan continuously to prevent the frittata from sticking.
• Once the frittata has a rather firm skin on the bottom, slide it out of the pan and onto a plate. Invert the frittata back into the pan so that the less-cooked side of the frittata is now face-down in the pan. Return to the heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan continuously to prevent sticking. The frittata is done when the bottom is firm and light chestnut-brown.
• Slide the frittata onto a dish for serving. If you plan to cool the frittata, cover it with a clean cloth or paper towels. Cut into wedges before serving.
• Variations:
• To make a baked omelet, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare the greens as above and transfer to a buttered 8-inch baking dish. Beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese, and pepper in a large bowl and pour over the greens. Bake for 15 minutes, unmold onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve.
• Although usually served plain, you can drape a paper-thin slice of prosciutto di San Daniele over the frittata before serving.

FRITTATA (ITALIAN OMELET)

Steps:

• Beat eggs and milk lightly. Add cheese, onion, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Pour in egg mixture and reduce heat as edges of omelet begin to thicken.
• With a fork, draw cooked portions toward center to allow uncooked mixture to flow to bottom of skillet. Shake and tilt skillet as necessary to aid flow of uncooked eggs. Do not stir. When eggs no longer flow and surface is still moist, increase heat to quickly brown the bottom of omelet. Loosen edges carefully and fold omelet over.
• Slide omelet onto a warm platter.
