veggies for a frittata
Originally uploaded by Antof9. This is nothing fancy, but it's easy, tasty, fast and healthy (if you want). The most common version at our house has green onions, button mushrooms, and green peppers (pictured here), but we've done it with a variety of ingredients. I'd throw in some tomatoes if I had some on hand -- oh WAIT! I DID have some on hand! Oh well. . . Anyway, I heat the veggies just a bit to take the "raw" out -- do it in olive oil with salt and a lot of pepper, or butter. Once the pan is heated all the way through, dump in beaten eggs (tonight was 4 whites and 2 wholes) and lower the heat a tiny bit.
Veggie frittata, still cooking
Originally uploaded by Antof9. Sometimes I just leave it on top of the stove until it's done, sometimes I put a lid on it, and sometimes I cut it up and flip it like pancakes. It never looks as pretty once you turn it over, but that doesn't seem to affect the flavor. When it's almost done, a couple handfuls of fresh grated parmesan is always good, but not necessary. Another sprinkle of black pepper is good too :) Unk likes to eat his in a tortilla, and sometimes adds salsa. I eat it with a fork off a plate.
Follow up with yummy peaches from the western slope. Oh wait -- that's just what we had on the counter!
