Heat a clean pan on high heat. Pour in the oil and once hot, pour in the eggs. Stir with a spatula to help the eggs set evenly. Once the eggs are setting, reduce the heat and using a spoon, insert the mascarpone randomly in the egg mixture.

Meanwhile light the broiler in the oven and once hot, place the pan under the grill to cook the top of the frittata for 2 or 3 minutes.
Serve the frittata in the pan, garnished with herbs.
