How to Make Frittata Italian Omelet

  1. Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl until light and frothy.
  2. Stir in the grated cheese, chopped onion, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium heat.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet. Reduce heat to low as the edges begin to set.
  5. Gently push the cooked edges of the frittata towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  6. Continue to cook, gently tilting the pan as needed, until the eggs are mostly set but the top is still slightly wet.
  7. Increase heat to medium-low and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned.
  8. If desired, you can broil the frittata for 1-2 minutes to finish browning the top. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  9. Carefully loosen the edges of the frittata with a spatula before sliding it onto a plate or serving directly from the skillet.
