Ingredients
Eggs and Dairy
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated (or mozzarella)
- 2 tbsp Butter
Produce
Pantry
- 2 slices Bread halved or quartered
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
- 1 tsp Chili Flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and ginger. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, but not browned. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and translucent.
- Add the cooked potato and onion mixture to the bowl with the whisked eggs. Mix well to combine.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and spread evenly. Gently distribute the potatoes and onions for even cooking.
- While the egg mixture is still wet on top, arrange the bread pieces over the surface. This will create a delicious crust.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the omelet. Top with bell peppers, chili flakes, and black pepper. The bread will gradually absorb the egg mixture.
- Reduce heat to low and cook until the top is set but not browned. Covering the skillet for the last few minutes helps to melt the cheese and ensure the center is cooked through.
- For a perfectly cooked tortilla, carefully invert the skillet onto a plate to flip the omelet. Slide the omelet back into the skillet to cook the other side. Gently shaking the pan prevents sticking.
- Alternatively, for a crispy finish, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven (broiler setting) after adding the cheese and vegetables. Broil until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with your favorite sauce.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a richer texture and flavor, sauté the potatoes and onions until deeply golden before adding them to the egg mixture. This caramelization brings out their natural sweetness and depth.
- If you prefer a crispier base, lightly toast the bread slices in olive oil before layering them in the pan. This prevents sogginess and adds a delightful crunch.
- To make this dish vegetarian but still boost umami, consider adding chopped sun-dried tomatoes or smoked paprika along with the olives.
- For easy slicing and a visually striking presentation, let the cooked frittata cool slightly, then cut it into wedges and scatter with fresh herbs like parsley or chives just before serving.
Expert Tips
- Don't overcook the frittata. It should be set but still slightly moist in the center.
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture.
- Get creative with your add-ins! Other delicious options include roasted vegetables, crumbled bacon, or different types of cheese.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover frittata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat.
