Ingredients

  • 2 ounces pancetta
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions (or use caramelized)
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk (or other milk)
  • 2 tablespoons basil pesto, divided
  • 1 tablespoon ITALIAN Spice Blend
  • 1/2 cup arugula, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup sliced artichoke hearts
  • 1 slice prosciutto (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 4-5 minutes, to render some of the fat. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onions are translucent and begin to brown. 

Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of the pesto, coconut milk, sea salt, and pepper. Mix in the arugula and artichoke hearts, then add the egg mixture to the skillet. 

Bake for 20-30 minutes until the eggs are no longer runny and the frittata puffs up a bit and edges are golden brown. Garnish with 1 tablespoon of pesto, prosciutto, and arugula.
