Frittata Recipe: Inspired by Bakery & Bar. Amy’s Breakfast Recipe today came out of the blue, after having had a look in the fridge at what’s on offer. I ended up with this Frittata come Omelette, served in a bread ‘plate.
I took a big two-inch deep slab of sourdough bread. I then used one of my food stacker rings to cut out a circle in the middle of the bread – don’t cut all the way through, as this is literally an edible bowl. A quick whizz in the toaster to fir, it up.
How to make the best Frittata Recipe at home
Get a few pieces of streaky bacon and cut them into small pieces. Get that on the heat until nice and crispy. Now take 2 eggs, crack them in a bowl and whisk away until all nicely mixed together. Add in some double cream and whisk again. Give a good sprinkle of sea salt and pepper. Stir in some grated mozzarella and again stir it all through.
Pour that into a metal handled pan and pop it in the oven on 150, until it puffs up and is nicely browned, as in the picture. Serve that up in the hole you made in the toasted bread – and there is Amy’s Breakfast Recipe. I finished it off with a little sprinkle of Truffle salt. BOOM!
Pretty simple right and how good does it look and taste. Absolutely delicious according to #1 daughter. Amy’s Breakfast Recipe was a roaring success. To be honest, it’s just an omelette, that was jazzed up by baking it, using that rather original serving platter. Give it a go, I guarantee the kids will love it. ENJOY!!!
What is a Frittata
A frittata is an Italian egg dish that’s often described as a cross between an omelette, a quiche (without the pastry), and a crustless pie. It’s made by whisking eggs together with fillings such as cheese, vegetables, herbs, potatoes, or meat, then cooking it slowly until set.
Unlike an omelette, where the fillings are folded inside, the ingredients in a frittata are mixed throughout the eggs, creating a thick, hearty dish that can be sliced like a cake.
What goes in a Frittata
The base is simple:
- Eggs
- Salt and black pepper
- Olive oil or butter
Popular fillings include:
- Bacon or pancetta
- Ham
- Sausage
- Spinach
- Mushrooms
- Onions
- Roasted peppers
- Courgettes (zucchini)
- Tomatoes
- Potatoes
- Parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, goat’s cheese or feta
- Fresh herbs
How is it a Frittata cooked?
A traditional frittata is:
- Started in an oven-safe frying pan.
- Fillings are cooked first.
- Beaten eggs are poured over them.
- Cooked gently on the hob until the base sets.
- Finished under the grill (broiler) or in the oven until puffed and golden.
The result is light, fluffy, and slightly browned on top.
