A yummy frittata loaded with Italian style veggie and cheese. A delicious Breakfast...Lunch or Dinner!
- 1 Dozen of Fresh Free Range Eggs
- ¼ cup of heavy cream
- ½ cup of Ricotta cheese
- 1 potato cut into small cubes
- 1 large zucchini cut in half and sliced into this half moons
- 8 ounces of thinly sliced mushroom
- 6 scallions (white and greens) sliced thinly
- 2 cups of baby or regular fresh spinach
- 1 orange or red bell pepper cut into little pieces
- 1 cup of grape or cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup of Grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano Cheese
- 4 ounces of shredded Asiago
- 4 ounces of Brie cubed or thin slices (with the rind removed) or you can use 4 ounces of Goat cheese crumbled
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon of crushed Hot Pepper (optional)
- 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large mixing bowl crack all 12 eggs and whisk them good.
- Add the cream, salt, pepper, Ricotta cheese, Parmesan Cheese and shredded Asiago, Brie or Goat Cheese and blend.
- Heat a 12 inch cast iron skillet and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is nice and hot...fry up your potatoes till they have a golden crisp to them and remove from the pan into a little bowl.
- Add a bit more olive oil, add your peppers and zucchini (season with S&P) and saute for about 5 minutes, then add the mushrooms, tomatoes, saute for another 2-3 minutes. Now add back the potatoes and spinach and saute for 1 minute.
- Add your egg mixture and fold the veggie mixture through.
- Place your skillet on the middle rack of the oven right in the middle. Cook for 20-25 minutes. Check it 15 minutes in in case your oven runs on the hot side. Your frittata should be firm around the edges and just a little jiggle in the center.
- Take it out of the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes and then it is time to serve. A side salad would be fabulous!
- Bon Appetit
