Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Position oven rack to the upper level.
Fill a pot 3/4 full with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then turn the temperature off. Plunge the peas into the water for 5 minutes, drain and set aside.
Over medium-high heat, melt half of the butter in a non-stick, ovenproof frying pan, or skillet. Add the onion and bacon. Stir occasionally, cooking for 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the eggs, ricotta, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Add the peas and stir through. Stir in the cooked bacon and onion. Clean the frying pan with a paper towel, or give it a quick rinse and dry off.
Melt the remaining butter in the same frying pan, over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, and cook for 5 minutes, without stirring. Move the pan to the upper oven rack, and bake for 8 minutes, or until the quichata is set. Use oven gloves to remove from the oven - Be careful not to touch the handle without oven gloves.
Slide the quichata onto a warm serving plate or a wooden board, and serve right away or leave to cool to room temperature.

Hi, Julie! You can certainly omit the peas if you prefer!

I liked it. Cooked it in a cast
iron skillet. I’ve finally learned to set oven to 325 when using cast iron.
