Frittata

This is a great last minute recipe:

Frittata

Heat a frying pan with enough butter to coat.
Heat Oven Broiler

6 Eggs
1/4 cup cream
1/4 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese( I prefer Romano)
1/4 cup shredded or thin cut northern European cheese (
Ementhal, Gruyere, Jarlsburg....whatever is going
hard and needs to be used for cooking
1/8 Tsp cayenne powder
2 cups assorted veggies
1/4 cup diced ham (optional)

Take enough veggies ( leftover or fresh broccoli, spinach leaves, asparagus, whatever is in the fridge and needs to be eaten and you think will go good with eggs) and cover the bottom of the pan ( usually about two cups fresh).

Saute until most of the moisture is evaporated.
Add diced Ham if you are using it.

Mix together the eggs, cream, cayenne and grated Romano.

Pour Egg mix into pan in such a way that the veggie mix is still evenly distributed.

Sprinkle the top with the White European cheese

Place the frying pan about 10" under the broiler. If you are too close the top with burn before the eggs are cooked.

Remove when done to the desired texture ( soft eggs are NOT raw eggs, but everyone likes theirs different)

Serve with a bit of fresh green salad or veggie sticks.

This is a great last minute recipe. And as you can see, it is versatile. Play with the ingredients and proportions.
