Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1.8 oz grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste dried parsley
- 2 potatoes
- 3.5 oz frozen peas
- 1.8 oz speck
- to taste salt
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
- to taste black pepper (optional)
Tools
- Pan
- Bowl
- Whisk
Steps
Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes or thin slices.
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.Add the frozen peas and continue to cook until the potatoes are tender and golden and the peas are well cooked.
Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the grated Parmesan, parsley and whisk until all ingredients are combined. Add salt, pepper, and the speck cut into strips and mix.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the potatoes and peas, level with a spoon, and cook over medium-low heat for about 6/7 minutes, until the base of the frittata is golden and the mixture has set.
Flip the frittata (using a plate or lid) and cook the other side for another couple of minutes, until well browned.
For this operation, I recommend using a frittata pan.
Our Frittata with Speck, Potatoes, and Peas is ready. Transfer it to a plate or a round cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before serving, so it sets well.
Enjoy your meal.

FAQ
Can I replace speck with another type of cured meat?
Yes, you can replace speck with smoked bacon, cooked ham, raw ham, or even crumbled sausage. If you want a vegetarian version, you can omit the speck entirely.
Is it possible to prepare it in advance?
Absolutely yes. You can cook it the day before, store it in the fridge, and serve it at room temperature or slightly warmed up.
Can I bake it instead of cooking it in a pan?
Certainly! Bake it in the oven at 356°F for about 20-25 minutes, until it turns golden on top. Use a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
