Sicilian Frocia

Cultural Context

Originating from Sicily, Frocia is a traditional Italian flatbread that showcases the region's love for simple yet flavorful ingredients. Traditionally made with a rich filling of cheeses, it reflects the Mediterranean diet's emphasis on fresh produce and dairy. This dish is often enjoyed as a snack or light meal, and its variations can be found across Italy, with each region adding its unique twist. Today, Frocia is celebrated not only in Italy but also among Italian communities worldwide, where it continues to bring a taste of home to many.

Servings4
2 tablespoons avocado oil
6 eggs
smoked paprika
onion salt
dried parsley
golden potatoes
1 tablespoon butter
Parmesan cheese

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat while still providing creaminess.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Provolone can be a cost-effective alternative with a similar texture.

1

Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a skillet.

2

Whisk 6 eggs until fluffy using a milkshake maker.

3

Season the eggs with about a half teaspoon of smoked paprika, a couple of shakes of onion salt, and some dried parsley.

4

Cut golden potatoes into uniform pieces and add them to the skillet to cook like french fries, covering the bottom of the skillet.

5

Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes, turning them often until they are meaty but not overdone.

6

Drain the oil from the skillet after removing the potatoes, leaving a little bit in the pan.

7

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt over medium-high heat.

8

Pour the seasoned egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet and spread it out evenly.

9

Cook the egg mixture on low heat, allowing uncooked egg to reach the bottom of the skillet.

10

Once partially cooked, flip the frocia onto a larger plate and finish cooking for 2-3 minutes in the skillet.

11

Cut the finished frocia into pizza slices and top with Parmesan cheese if desired.
