Steps
Let’s start preparing
Let’s start preparing the frittata with rapini. Clean the rapini well: remove damaged outer leaves and any stems that are too thick and could remain tough during cooking.
Wash them well under running water and blanch them for 5 minutes in salted boiling water. Drain them and immediately pass them under cold water to fix the chlorophyll. Squeeze them well and chop them a little with a knife.
Break the eggs into the bowl with the rapini and add the milk, the grated cheese, salt and a grind of pepper, then mix.
Pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil into a pan, heat it well and then pour in the egg and rapini mixture. Let the frittata cook over moderate heat until the base firms up. Cover with a lid to help the top set.
Then, using a flat plate, flip it and continue cooking for another minute.
Now remove the pan from the heat, transfer the Frittata with rapini to a serving plate. Here is our frittata ready to serve.
Enjoy your meal!!
