Viewed: 62 - Published at: 4 years agoIngredients
- 12 inch cast iron skillet
- 8 extra large eggs
- 2 oz grated parmesan (reggiano)
- 2-3 TBL sweet, unsalted butter OR equal amount olive oil
- Dash (only a couple teaspoons) half & half or cream
- 4 oz grated mozzarella cheese (whole milk)
- handful baby Bella mushrooms sliced razor thin (a/k/a crimini)
- 1/2 bell pepper diced (red or orange)
- precooked crumbled bacon, diced ham, or sausage (I often use leftovers) to taste (if you don't want the meat, just omit it)
- 2-3 TBL chopped fresh flat leaf Italian parsley (can do half cilantro if you want)
- 2 shredded fresh basil leaves.
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup diced pre-cooked potato (left over)
- 1 diced scallion
- 1 diced Italian PLUM tomato (fresh)
- salt, pepper to taste
- dash sweet paprika
- [you can substitute a few leaves chopped fresh spinach, or thin stalked diced baby asparagus for tomato]
Method
- preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- give the inside of the cast iron pan a quick spray of non stick cooking spray (yes, even if it is seasoned)
- on stove TOP, put butter or oil in pan and heat up.
- add your veggies to hot pan & saute them slightly (maybe a minute and a half). Remove pan from heat & set aside.
- in a mixing bowl whisk together, eggs, half & half, salt, pepper and grated parmesan cheese.
- Pour egg mixture over sauteed veggies.
- Scatter fresh herbs over eggs & veggies in the pan.
- Scatter diced meat over everything (if you are using meat)
- Finally, scatter mozzarella as your last "layer"
- Put everything in the pre-heated oven 350 degree and bake until bubbly and golden on top...with my oven that is generally 20- 26 minutes.
- when you eyeball it & it is not only bubbling and golden, but eggs look slightly removed from edge of pan, you should be good to go.
- This is a heavy frittata, so it won't flip out like an omlette. Instead, wedge it like a pie or quiche & serve
