Frittata with figs and prosciutto
4 servings
30 minutes
Frittata with figs and prosciutto is an exquisite dish of Italian cuisine that combines the tenderness of baked eggs, the salty taste of feta, and the sweetness of figs. Historically, frittata emerged as a simple way to prepare eggs with various ingredients, and the addition of prosciutto and caramelized onions gives it a special depth of flavor. Figs, sweet and juicy, contrast with the spiciness of feta and the aroma of thyme, creating a harmonious ensemble. Prosciutto adds notes of sophistication while caramelized onions bring a light sweetness. Frittata is perfect for breakfast or a light dinner and can be served with a glass of dry white wine to enhance the flavors of all components. It is easy to prepare but looks impressive—an ideal option for culinary experiments and cozy gatherings.
