Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 2-3
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 100 g sheep cheese, crumbled
- 1 bell pepper (orange, for a splash of color)
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- a few broccoli florets
- 1 tomato, diced
- fresh parsley, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
- salt, to taste
- olive oil, for cooking
Step by step:
1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by washing all the vegetables well. Cut the bell pepper into cubes, the carrot into thin strips, the tomato into cubes, and the broccoli into small florets. Each ingredient adds a note of freshness and texture to your frittata.
2. Beat the eggs: In a large bowl, beat the 3 eggs with a pinch of salt. Make sure the eggs are homogeneous to achieve a fluffy frittata. You can also add a little freshly ground pepper if you like a spicier flavor.
3. Cook the vegetables: In a non-stick pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the carrot and bell pepper, sautéing them for about 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly. Add the broccoli florets and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Combine the ingredients: Once the vegetables are ready, add them to the bowl with the beaten eggs. Add the crumbled sheep cheese, tomato, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well so that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Bake the frittata: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Pour the mixture from the bowl into the pan where you sautéed the vegetables. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then transfer the pan to the oven. Bake the frittata for 15-20 minutes, or until firm and slightly browned on the surface.
6. Serve with style: Once the frittata is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into slices and serve warm or at room temperature, alongside a fresh green salad or a slice of crusty bread.
Variation suggestions: You can replace the broccoli with spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms, depending on your preferences. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or mozzarella, for a different flavor.
