Magical Frittata

I never knew how easy frittata’s were to make.  For some reason, I thought they were really complicated. They aren’t.

Plus, they’re kinda magical – 8 eggs yields 6 good-sized servings. 1 1/3 eggs on it’s own would never seem like enough, but a good-sized slice of frittata? Yes please!

Heat a little canola oil, maybe a tbsp or so, in a medium frying pan. Add chopped peppers and onion. Heat until vegetables are just soft (about 3 minutes).

Really, add whatever vegetables you like. Even mushroom, if that’s your thing Bacon or ham would be good too.

In a large bowl, combine 8 eggs and a splash of milk (about 1/4 C). If you’re using eggs from a Farmer’s Market, marvel a little at the bright orange yolk. I also added about 1/4 C cottage cheese, but you could leave that out. Like I said, almost everything in a frittata can be substituted. Except the eggs. Frittata’s need eggs. Whisk it all together and pour over vegetables.

And just let it cook for a few minutes!

Add some hot sauce, and cracked black pepper, if that’s what you like.  After about 5 minutes, top eggs with about 1/4 C shredded cheese, and pop it into a 350* oven (make sure your frying pan is oven safe). Let the frittata bubble away for about 15 minutes.

Et voila! Frittata!

Seriously – how is this just a little more than 1 egg?!
