Folded Prosciutto Frittata

Thin pieces of fatty prosciutto cooked in butter and enclosed in a frittata folded in half.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Gather the ingredients: 3 eggs; 50 g thinly sliced prosciutto containing both fat and lean; 20 g butter, divided into two 10 g portions; Very little salt, only if needed.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the thin prosciutto slices into pieces roughly the size of a small coin, about 2 cm across. Stir the eggs briefly with a fork just until combined, adding very little salt if any because the prosciutto is salty.

  3. Step 3

    Melt the first 10 g butter in a nonstick frying pan over moderate heat. Add the prosciutto pieces and fry gently for a short time until they begin to sizzle and the fat softens.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the eggs. When the frittata begins to set, fold it in half with a broad spatula to make a half-moon. Add the remaining 10 g butter around it.

  5. Step 5

    Lower the heat and finish cooking gently, turning carefully if needed, until the folded centre is fully set with no liquid egg and reaches 74°C. Slide onto a plate and serve promptly.
