Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat and add 4 oz diced pancetta. Cook for 5-6 minutes until pancetta is crisp and browned. Remove excess fat if needed.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked pancetta in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
  4. Step 4: Cook over medium heat without stirring for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the frittata is puffed, golden, and set in the center.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving warm.
