Easter Omelette
Frittata Pasquale
A thick, soft Easter omelette from Campania with eggs, cured meats, spinach, vegetables, and aromatic herbs.
The Easter Frittata is a substantial dish to bring to the table when you want a rich, fragrant preparation capable of bringing together in one skillet different ingredients. The egg base welcomes the strong taste of Italian sausage, pancetta and salami, while spinach, artichoke, and asparagus introduce vegetal notes and a more complex texture. Aromatic herbs, crushed with a little oil, intensify the aroma and bind the filling without weighing it down. Ideal cooking results in a thick frittata, well-set at the edges and still soft in the center: for this reason, the heat must be kept moderate, so the eggs can gradually set without darkening too much. The editorial staff places this preparation in the Campania gastronomic tradition.
