Whether you serve it for brunch or dinner, this simple frittata featuring ricotta cheese and spring vegetables is always a favorite!
Ingredients
Scale
1/2 Tablespoon unsalted butter
2 medium potatoes, sliced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2–3 small scallions, thinly sliced
1 bunch of asparagus, tops only
1 pound (450g) baby spinach leaves, chopped
Salt and pepper
8 large eggs
1/2 cup (125g) ricotta cheese
1 pinch herbes de provence
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a small skillet, melt the butter and cook the sliced potatoes on both sides until tender and slightly golden. Set aside.
Pour one Tablespoon of oil into a large cast-iron skillet (or other oven-proof skillet) over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and asparagus, and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently. Add the spinach and cook, stirring to incorporate, just until it wilts. Add the sliced potatoes. Add salt and stir well.
In a medium-sized bowl, lightly beat the eggs until frothy; and add salt. Pour over the veggies, and drop Tablespoons of ricotta on the surface. Cook for about 3 minutes, until it is set on the bottom.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Season with pepper and herbs, and serve warm or at room temperature.
