instructions
    1

    Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

    2

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it's translucent.

    3

    Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, until the meat is thoroughly browned. Make sure to break any large chunks.

    4

    Season the meat mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove the skillet from heat.

    5

    In a large mixing bowl, crack open the 6 eggs and whisk them until they are well combined.

    6

    Pour the cooked meat mixture into the bowl with the eggs and mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.

    7

    Grease a baking dish or an oven-safe skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking. Pour the egg and meat mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.

    8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden brown.

    9

    Once cooked, let the frittata cool for about 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

How to be creative
  • Transform it into a breakfast dish by adding crumbled bacon and serving it with a side of toast.
  • Add some heat by incorporating diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
  • Top the frittata with fresh slices of avocado and a squeeze of lime for a refreshing twist.
Important Tips
  • For extra flavor, add grated cheese like Parmesan or Pecorino to the egg mixture before baking.
  • Make sure not to overcook the frittata, as it will continue to cook slightly even after being removed from the oven.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for more nutritional benefits.
