The word frittata is Italian and roughly translates to "omelette"
Traditionally its cooked in a cast iron fry pan and is started on the stove top and finished in the oven, but if you have a lid for the fry pan it can finish on the stove top.
It goes together quickly, its good hot or cold, and I can use up and throw in what ever veggies or protein I have on hand. And I can use the left overs for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Ingredients
5-8 eggs
2-3 cups of veggies
1/2- 1 cup of cheese
Olive oil
Mix eggs together with a fork in small bowl set aside
Heat skillet over medium heat.
Add olive oil spread to coat
Add veggies and cook for 5-10 minutes (- may have to drain fresh veggies before adding egg- just dont want veggies and pan to be too wet before adding eggs )
Add eggs and gently shake pan to evenly distribute.
Top with cheese , and place in 350 oven for 20-25 minutes until eggs are set and cheese just begins to brown.
Here are some my usual veggie choices:
potatoes thinly sliced - left over or uncooked, onion, leek, garlic, scallion, chive, mushrooms, spinach, tomato, broccoli, green pepper, kale, asparagus, chick peas, zucchini
Cheese choices
cheddar, swiss, or feta
