Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. In a large mixing bowl crack all 12 eggs and whisk them good.
  3. Add the cream, salt, pepper, Ricotta cheese, Parmesan Cheese and shredded Asiago, Brie or Goat Cheese and blend.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Add your egg mixture and fold the veggie mixture through.
  7. 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.
  8. 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!
