The great thing of this recipe, like a lot of other Italian recipes, is that it is very versatile. Therefore there are unlimited varieties of frittata recipe that you can prepare starting with a base of beaten eggs and then adding your favorite ingredients.

flip the frittata, one of the most famous italian recipes, and let it cook for another 10 minutes

Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for 10 minutes; shake occasionally the pan slightly in order to detach it from the bottom. When the time has elapsed you are ready to flip the frittata. Remove the lid, place a large plate – it must be slightly larger than the pan or at least must have the same size but no smaller – over the pan and turn it upside down.

Please, while doing this, keep the plate and the pan firmly in place together, to avoid burns or to let the frittata falling outside. Now slide the frittata back into the pan and let it cook for another 10 minutes, over low heat but this time without any lid.

Cooking Tips

break the eggs to make frittata
  1. Other perfect and delicious combinations of ingredients for your frittata are the following Italian recipes:
    potatoes and onions, spinach and ricotta, mushrooms and sausage, salmon and caprino (goat cheese), spaghetti pasta’s frittata.
  2. Always choose the right pan size for cooking: perfect for a 4 eggs frittata is a 16 cm pan, for a 6 eggs frittata a 24 cm pan and for an 8 eggs frittata a 26-28 cm pan.
  3. The typical Italian frittata is cooked in a pan but there are many cooking variations for a lighter, baked frittata. Here’s how to do it: line a high-sides baking pan with a parchment paper that you’ve previously wet and squeezed. Pour the egg mixture inside and cook for 40 minutes at 356°F (180° C) in a preheated oven.

Storage

Frittata recipe is very simple and quick to prepare and for this reason we suggest you to prepare it and consume it after cooked when the cheese is melted. Alternatively it can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days in the fridge.
