Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 6 cloves garlic
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until fully beaten. Add the milk, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Chop the fresh parsley and thyme (if using), and stir them into the egg mixture.

Step 5

Heat an oven-safe, nonstick skillet (around 10 inches in diameter) over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the skillet.

Step 6

Once the butter is melted and the oil is shimmering, add the sliced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed garlic. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the garlic throughout the mixture.

Step 8

Cook on the stovetop over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata start to set but the center is still slightly wobbly.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the frittata for 8–10 minutes, or until it is fully set and slightly puffed up.

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (using oven mitts—it's hot!), and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a side salad, crusty bread, or on its own!
