Victoria's Basic Frittata

Today is our fourth and final day of breakfast recipes to get your student going in the morning. Why not end the week with my delicious frittata?!

Victoria's Basic Frittata

Just what is a frittata?  Well, it is a cross between an omelet and a casserole and is best when loaded with lots of delicious ingredients.  Make sure to sauté the delicious ingredients first. 

INGREDIENTS

8 Lightly Beaten Eggs

1 Tablespoon Fresh Chopped Basil

½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt

½ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1½ Cups Chopped Vegetables of Your Choice

3 Sliced Green Onions

½ Cup Chopped Ham

½ Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Preheat the broiler. In a medium size bowl combine the eggs, basil, kosher salt and pepper.  Set aside.  In a large ovenproof sauté pan heat the olive oil over a medium heat.  Add the chopped vegetables and the green onions.  Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are nice and tender.  Make sure to stir occasionally.  Stir in the chopped ham.  Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables mixture.  Continue to cook over a medium heat.  As the egg mixture sets run a heat-proof spatula around the edge of the skillet.  Lift the egg mixture so the uncooked portion flows underneath.  Continue to cook and lift the edges until the egg mixture is almost set.  Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.  Place the sauté pan under the broiler for 2 minutes.  You will want the sauté pan 5 inches from the heat.  You will want the cheese melted.  Remove from the oven and serve nice and hot.  Serves 4

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

if they had done it at night at least it wouldn't have been smudged. BUT, i happen to think itsRead More nice, and especially with the flags hanging. we forget we are a small new england town, and small things like the red white and blue stripes remind me that we still are! :)
