Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs:
   Begin by cracking the eggs into a bowl, separating the yolks from the whites. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with a fork, adding the grated Grana Padano cheese, sifted flour, milk, salt, and pepper. Continue to beat the mixture until smooth and well-combined.

2. Chop the Parsley:
   Wash, dry, and finely chop the parsley. Set it aside.

3. Whip the Egg Whites:
   In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer, until they form stiff peaks. This will give your frittata a light, airy texture.

4. Combine the Mixtures:
   Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, ensuring not to deflate the air bubbles. Then, fold in the finely chopped parsley until evenly distributed.

5. Cook the Frittata:
   Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to cook gently over low heat, covering the pan with a lid. Cook for several minutes until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on the bottom.

6. Serve:
   Once cooked, carefully slide the frittata onto a plate and serve hot. It’s perfect on its own or paired with a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy your light and flavorful parsley frittata! It’s a wonderful dish that combines the richness of cheese with the freshness of parsley, perfect for any occasion.
