Herb Frittata

Cooking Instructions

Method:

Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and fresh herbs until just blended together in a large bowl. Heat 2 teaspoons butter and 1 Tablespoon olive oil together in a medium frying pan until it just starts to sizzle. Pour in half of the frittata mixture and turn the heat down very low. Cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes. The eggs will start to puff up and sizzle at the edges. Lift a corner of the frittata with a spatula, and check to see if the bottom has browned. When it has, flip the frittata over with a spatula. Cook the second side for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, again checking to see if the bottom has browned. Remove the cooked frittata from the pan. Repeat the process for the remainder of the frittata mixture, or cook in a second frying pan alongside the first one. Serve right away, or let cool to room temperature and cut the frittata in wedges.
