Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and 1 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped red pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the pepper begins to soften.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs until well beaten.
- Add 2 cups of ricotta cheese and 1 cup of light sour cream to the eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the egg and ricotta mixture over the peperonata in the skillet, stirring gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Cook on the stovetop over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the edges begin to set. The center will still be slightly runny.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden brown on top, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes in the skillet before slicing.
- Serve warm, either directly from the skillet or transfer to a serving platter.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure to cook the onions and peppers until they are well caramelized to bring out their natural sweetness.
- Mix the eggs thoroughly with the ricotta and sour cream to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Cook the frittata on medium-low heat to ensure it cooks evenly without burning.
- Allow the frittata to cool slightly before cutting for easier slicing and serving.
