Instructions:
-
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. -
Chop the Parsley:
Wash, dry, and finely chop the parsley. Set it aside. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
Serve:
Once cooked, carefully slide the frittata onto a plate and serve hot. Itβs 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.
