Breakfast was quite a protein-packed affair. I was in the mood for something super-filling and nutritious. All roads led me to my handy cast iron skillet. It has been sometime since I last used. With eggs sitting at room temperature, I had a perfect dish in my mind. Decided to make a frittata.
I love frittatas because they are versatile and satisfying. As a result, they can be had for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Moreover, one can have a free-hand with it. And, that’s what I did. I decided to incorporate the following which included Ritz crackers:
SOME OF THE MAIN INGREDIENTS FOR FRITTATA
Method:( Both stove-top/oven were used)
In a bowl, eggs were beaten with a splash of milk and seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste.
All vegetables were added to batter along with shredded cheddar cheese.
In hot cast iron skillet, a drizzle of olive oil was added along with a pat of butter. Finely chopped onions were added for softening.
Batter was added under low heat to allow bottom to set.
After approximately four to five minutes, this was placed in pre-heated 320 degree oven for another five minutes after adding left-over grated cheese.
FRITTATA READY FOR OVEN
Dish was placed under the broiler for another two minutes to melt cheese.
