This frittata is perfect for any meal of the day and can be served hot or cold. It's an excellent choice for a family breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
