Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 4 minutes or until the onions are transparent. Add the sweet and hot pepper, and the tomatoes; cook for 2 to 3 minutes and let cool in the pan.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat in the cheese and salt. Add the cooled sautéed onions to the egg mixture and stir well. Wipe out the frying pan with a paper towel and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan. Heat the oil and then pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cover and cook for 5 or 6 minutes. When the liquid is set and the frittata moves easily in the pan, put a large plate over the pan and flip the frittata out onto the plate. Add another teaspoon of olive oil to the pan and carefully slip the frittata back in to cook the other side. Cover and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.
- If cooking in the oven, preheat to 325, dont cover and just place in oven for approx 20 min or desired doneness. I put extra parmesan over the top for the last 5 minutes.
- Slide the frittata onto a serving platter; slice into wedges and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper, yellow pepper, and onions, season with salt, and pepper and cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, and oregano until light and fluffy, and then season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir with a rubber spatula. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set up on top. Place the pan into the oven and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned and fluffy. Remove from pan and sprinkle the top with parsley. Carefully slide the frittata onto a cutting board and cut into wedges and top with some of the roasted cherry tomato sauce and garnish with fresh basil. Serve hot or at room temperature.
- Sauce:
- To a saute pan add the olive oil. Add the tomatoes and garlic paste over medium heat. Cook until the tomatoes are soft, about 2 to 3 minutes and the tomatoes burst. Remove the pan from the heat and add the basil.

Steps:
- Wash the potatoes and cut them, unpeeled, into thin slices. Drop the slices into cold water to prevent discoloration. Drain and dry on paper towels.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet and add the potatoes. Cook over medium heat, shaking and tossing or stirring, about 4 minutes. Add the peppers and the onions. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the basil, add salt and pepper and beat in the cheese.
- Over high heat, add the olive oil and the egg mixture to the potatoes and cook, stirring gently but firmly with a plastic spatula, about 1 minute. Cover tightly and reduce to medium heat. Cook about 2 minutes. Run a spatula or knife around the outside of the frittata. Invert a large round plate over the skillet and invert the skillet and plate quickly, letting the frittata fall into the plate. It should be golden brown on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet (or ovenproof frying pan) with the oil, then add the onion and bell pepper (capsicum) and fry till slightly softened over medium heat, then add the chopped sausage and fry till the sausage is cooked.
- Meanwhile, either steam/boil/microwave the chopped sweet potato till it is almost completely cooked (i.e. soft enough to pierce all the way through but not mushy), then add this to the pan and stir it through for a few minutes to take on the other flavours of the dish.
- Preheat your broiler.
- Beat together the eggs and milk in a bowl, then carefully pour it over the top of the mixture, giving it a little stir to ensure the egg is getting right between all the chunks of sausage and vegetables.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan over the top, then lower the heat of the burner and leave to cook till the bottom and sides have just set, then place under the broiler to cook the top.
- Once it's finished cooking, remove and serve either warm or cold with a spicy tomato salsa or chutney and some green salad on the side.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Chop all vegetables and gather all ingredients before you start cooking. This will make the process smoother and faster.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your vegetables and herbs will greatly impact the flavor of your frittata. Choose fresh, ripe produce for the best results.
- Don't Overcook the Eggs: The eggs in a frittata should be cooked until just set. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Let the Frittata Cool Before Slicing: This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to serve.
Conclusion:
A frittata is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and herbs, and it's also a good source of protein and nutrients. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect frittatas every time.
