Ingredients
2 ounces pancetta, medium diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, 1/2-inch-diced (4 potatoes)
8 extra-large eggs
15 ounces ricotta cheese
3/4 pound Gruyere cheese, grated
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 fresh basil leaves, julienned
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium (10-inch) oven-proof omelet pan over medium-low heat, cook the pancetta in the olive oil for 5 to 10 minutes, until browned. Remove the pancetta from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pan (don't wipe it out). Add the potatoes and fry them for 6 to 8 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned, turning occasionally. Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a small dish in the microwave.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then stir in the ricotta, Gruyere, melted butter, and milk. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and stir into the egg mixture. Add the basil.
- Put the pancetta back into the pan with the potatoes and pour in the egg mixture. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the frittata is browned and puffed and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve hot.
