Instructions

Step 1

Position a rack at the top of the oven and turn the broiler to high. In a bowl, whisk together the ricotta, mint, chile flakes, eggs, and salt and pepper to taste. To a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add the oil. When it’s hot and shimmering, add the egg mixture and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom is set and the top is still runny, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the oven and broil until lightly browned on top, 30–60 seconds.
