Easy Frittata Recipe

Quick and easy very basic, but yummy, frittata recipe that can be altered in endless ways. Easy to whip up for a quick supper or breakfast frittata.

Frittata contains a lot of egg, an excellent cheap protein source and not considered bad for your cholesterol any more.

You can alter this recipe very easily; replace, for example, the garlic with thyme or other herbs to your preference.

I usually replace margarine or butter in recipes with olive oil and that works well for this recipe too.

3 servings

6 eggs
¼ cup chopped onion
1 glove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
¾ cup chopped cooked vegetables or meat
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
Salt and pepper


Preparation

1. In a bowl beat eggs and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; set aside.

2. In a 10-inch broilerproof or regular skillet cook onion and garlic in margarine or butter (olive oil is also great) till tender. Stir in chopped vegetables or meat. (Or why not use half the amount of veggies and half meat?)

3. Pour egg mixture into skillet over vegetables/meat. Cook over medium heat. As mixture sets, run a spatula around edge of skillet, lifting egg mixture to allow uncooked portions to flow underneath. Continue cooking and lifting edges till egg mixture is almost set (surface will be moist).

4. Place broilerproof skillet under the broiler 4 to 5 inches from the heat. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or till top is just set. (Or, if using a regular skillet, remove skillet from the heat; cover and let stand 3 to for minutes or till top is set.) Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cut into wedges.

This basic recipe is originally an open-face omelet from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.
