My Best Frittata
You need a teflon pan and a suitable spatula.
2 eggs, beaten in a cup and to which you add flavorings like pepper, herbs, salt or pepper. I use no-salt herbs.
1 Tbsp water, added to the above, stir.
a handful of these- chopped red pepper, chopped onion or green onion, chopped celery . I chose these veggies because they are reputed to lower blood glucose.
a handful of grated cheese. I like to mix monteray jack and cheddar but any hard or medium cheese will do.
a touch of butter
Pre-heat the pan on high to melt butter.
Put in the chopped vegettables in a concentrated oval pattern.
Pour in the egg/water mix and use the spatula to guide it to stay among the veggies, scrape back the edges as it cooks.
Turn heat down to medium and stay with the mixture until the egg is fairly hard and the veggies are hot; sprinkle the cheese on top, and let it begin to melt. Flip half of the frittata over itself to enclose the filling and ease it onto a plate.
Good any time of day. Especially good for brunch with sausage, or bacon, pork patties or ham. A filling meal.
