Ricotta Frittata is a great brunch dish. Cherry tomatoes and peppers add a bit of Italian flair.
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/3 cups cubed day old bread, crusts removed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 onion, cut into 1/2 inch thick strips
- 1 each red and green bell peppers, cored, seed and cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup fresh ricotta
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.In a large bowl, beat eggs, heavy cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Add bread cubes; let soak until softened, about 15 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until wilted, about 4 minutes. Add peppers; cook, stirring until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes. Add butter and remaining oil to skillet; heat until foaming. Pour egg and bread mixture into pan; cook over medium heat without stirring.
- Meanwhile, add ricotta by tablespoonfuls, forming little pockets on top. Continue cooking until bottom is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
