Frittata di Carne e Fagioli Neri (Beef and Black Bean Frittata)
A delightful fusion of hearty beef and nutrient-rich black beans wrapped in a fluffy frittata, perfect for a satisfying meal!
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until they are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until it’s brown and fully cooked, around 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the black beans, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined. Stir in the cheese.
Add the cooked beef and bean mixture to the eggs, mixing well.
Pour the mixture back into the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on the stovetop until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the frittata is puffed and golden.
Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
