Frittata With Mozzarella (Frittata Di Mozzarella)

English_Rose's Note:

This easy, cheesy, parsley-flecked frittata is lovely for lunch, super at supper - and perfect for picnics too!

• Total Time: 12 mins
• Prep Time: 3 mins
• Cook Time: 9 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 8 large eggs
• 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Beat the eggs together in a large bowl, add the mozzarella cubes, the milk and the parsley and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Pour the oil into an 8in frying pan and heat until sizzling. Pour in the egg mixture and pull the mixture into the centre, rotating and turning the pan so that the mixture is allowed to set and brown on the under side.
3. After about 5 minutes, or when the mixture feels firm and reasonably set, turn the frittata over by placing a large plate on top of the pan and turning the pan upside down so that the frittata falls on to the plate with the cooked side uppermost.
4. Carefully slide the Frittata back into the hot pan with the cooked side on top and the uncooked side underneath.
5. Shake the frying pan to settle the contents and cook for a further 3 or 4 minutes.
6. Slide the frittata out of the pan on to a clean serving plate and serve hot or cold.

Wonderful recipe. I made two changes which I don't think affected the recipe at all. I added a seeded, chopped tomato and some shredded zucchini. And instead of flipping the frittata, I put it under the broiler. Everyone loved it!
