Ingredients

  • ½ dozen Large Eggs
  • 4 pcs Slices Prosciutto Cut into pieces
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 cup Mixed Veggies (like spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms)
  • 2 tbsp Oilive Oill
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Optional: A sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or parsley

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
    First, chop your veggies and prosciutto. If you’re using spinach, make sure to give it a quick wash. Everything else can be roughly chopped—don’t worry about perfect knife skills here!
  • Step 2: Cook the Prosciutto & Veggies
    In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add your prosciutto and cook for about 2-3 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside. Then, add your veggies to the same skillet and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Step 3: Whisk the Eggs
    While your veggies are cooking, crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk them up with a pinch of salt, pepper, and half of your parmesan cheese.
  • Step 4: Combine and Cook
    Once the veggies are softened, lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the eggs over the veggies and sprinkle the crispy prosciutto on top. Cook on the stovetop for 4-5 minutes until the edges start to set.
  • Step 5: Finish in the Oven
    Sprinkle the rest of the parmesan over the top and transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 8-10 minutes until the frittata is golden on top and fully set in the center.
  • Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
    Remove from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, and slice it up! Serve with some crusty bread and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy. 🍞🌿
