Ingredients

  • 5 ounces (140 grams) lardo di Colonnata, diced finely
  • 6 medium eggs
  • 1/2 cup (about 50 grams) aged pecorino cheese, grated (or use Parmesan)
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 pinch dried oregano
  • Olive oil, for greasing

Method

  • In a large bowl, beat all the ingredients except the olive oil together. Grease a heavy-bottomed, ovenproof skillet with olive oil (or use a nonstick skillet), and pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium heat until the bottom begins to turn golden and the top is somewhat set (still glistening but not runny).
  • Ease the frittata onto a plate, cooked side down, then turn skillet over the top of the plate. Using a potholder or towel, with the palm of your hand firmly on the bottom of the plate, flip the frittata and plate into the skillet. Return the skillet to the medium heat to let cook for another 2 minutes, until cooked through. If you're not confident about flipping your frittata without ruining it, you can also place the pan directly in a 350° F (180° C) oven and cook until the top is golden and puffed, about 10 minutes.
  • Turn onto a cutting board to cut into wedges. Turn it into a simple meal with a salad of arugula dressed with olive oil and lemon juice or red wine vinegar.
