Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
4 cups pumpkin
480g
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
170g
6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Pumpkin:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the peeled and diced pumpkin to the skillet.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender and lightly browned. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
3. Prepare Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup of milk until well combined.
- Gently fold in the 3/4 cup of ricotta cheese, creating a slightly lumpy mixture. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Combine and Bake:
- Once the pumpkin is cooked, spread it evenly in the greased skillet or baking dish.
- Pour the egg mixture over the pumpkin, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
5. Bake the Frittata:
- Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and golden brown on top. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the frittata is ready.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.

- Cut the pumpkin into small, even pieces for quicker and more uniform cooking.

- Pre-cook the pumpkin in the microwave for a few minutes to speed up the process.

- Ensure the eggs are well-beaten and mixed thoroughly with the other ingredients for a consistent texture.

- Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing to make clean cuts and easier serving.

Your delicious pumpkin and ricotta frittata is now ready to be enjoyed. This flavorful and wholesome dish is sure to be a hit with family and friends. Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients or seasonings to make it your own. Enjoy!
