How to Make Ciabattini Frittata Shoemakers Frittata

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, basil, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  3. In a 10-inch heavy skillet, cook pancetta over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside; reserve 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the skillet.
  4. Add potatoes and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper to the skillet. Sauté over medium-high heat until golden, about 3 minutes.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 3 minutes more.
  6. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl with the cooked pancetta.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Sauté onion and garlic over medium-high heat until pale golden, about 4 minutes. Add spinach and sauté until wilted.
  8. Gently add the potato and pancetta mixture, roasted peppers, and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, spreading evenly.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables.
  10. Cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, lifting the cooked edges of the frittata with a heatproof spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  11. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until mostly set with a moist top and center, 3-5 minutes more.
  12. Remove the lid.
  13. **If using provolone:** Broil the frittata 5-7 inches from the heat until set but not browned (1-2 minutes). Top with provolone and continue broiling until browned and bubbly (1-3 minutes).
  14. **If skipping cheese:** Broil until the top is lightly browned (1-3 minutes).
  15. If using a nonstick skillet, carefully slide the frittata onto a serving plate.
  16. If using a cast-iron skillet, cut and serve wedges directly from the skillet.
