So after my laptop decided to stop working, I decided I was going to make the three cheese frittata for dinner. I was hungry

Mmm, that frittata sounds delicious! A while back, I made mini-frittatas in a muffin pan so that I could easily snag them for breakfasts. Might need to do that again...

[musesfool]

Ooh, that sounds cool. How does it work? Do you just pour the eggs into the muffin cups and put them under the broiler?

[embroiderama]

I think they were just baked in the regular part of the oven. The recipe was something like this one. I think I made mine with thawed-from-frozen chopped broccoli and feta. They weren't the very best frittatas ever, but they were really convenient for breakfast.

[musesfool]

Oh, cool. I will definitely check it out. I am okay with them being only mediocre if they're easy and portable. *g*

Congratulations on the One-Year Anniversary! It is truly a blessing when you like the organization/co-workers.

Sometimes, I really think having a pleasant environment is worth more than a bigger paycheck (accompanied by STRESS). =)

Thank you! And it's true, not hating the place you work is very important.

I feel your pain on flipping things and not being very good at it. Many a pancakes and omelettes have suffered the same fate in my house.

I once read a story where the heroine would snap fruit into half to share with her younger siblings, fruits like bananas, apples and pears. My brother and I bruised a lot of bananas and pears and we could never break an apple into half. We still try to on occasion.

I love ricotta. When not being used for cooking or baking I usually just sprinkle a little sugar and ground cardamom on it which makes it taste a lot like an Pakistani/Indian dessert called Ras Malai.

Yay for employment!

I'm pretty good with pancakes, but this thing was too big and heavy to flip successfully, alas.

I can't imagine how you could just snap an apple in half. Huh.

I like to eat ricotta right out of the container, and sometimes I just bake it with some mozzarella and parmesan and some oregano and garlic and eat it that way.

Ovens in Britain have a little grill, rather than a proper broiler, which means that I can put a frittata under them without the frying pan handle melting off. But failing that, the eggs set better on top if you put a plate over the frying pan (or a lid, if you have a lid to fit the frying pan); the top doesn't get brown but that doesn't matter when you turn it out.

[musesfool]

Thank you for that tip. I used it successfully last night and had frittata for dinner, and again for lunch today.

Speaking of oven-safe frying pans, nothing has ever made me happier than my Le Creuset cast iron skillet. It makes everything so crispy and browned and beautiful - and also more delicious than other not-cast-iron frying pans.

I have one on in my shopping cart at Amazon - I just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. *covets*
