4. Beat the eggs with a fork, season, and pour into the pan, while still on a low heat. Tip the pan around until the egg is evenly distributed and the base has begun to set. Keep tilting the pan so that the uncooked egg settles around the edges of the pan. Take the pan off the heat when the base has firmed up and the surface is softly set.

5. Slice the frittata into wedges, garnish with parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
