Time 10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ cup chopped green and/or red peppers
⅓ cup chopped onion
12 eggs
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium (10-inch/25 cm) frying pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, peppers and onion; saute until tender.
  • While vegetables are cooking, whisk together eggs and water. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in the frying pan. Cover and cook over medium heat, occasionally poking through the mixture to allow uncooked egg to flow to the bottom of the pan.
  • When bottom is cooked and top is almost set, finish cooking the frittata on the stove top by covering it with a lid for a few minutes, or flip it over in the pan to cook the top, or cook the top under the broiler.
  • To flip the frittata, place a dinner plate over the pan holding it firmly in place, then turn the frying pan and plate upside down. The frittata will fall into the plate, top side down. Slide the frittata back into the frying pan, top down. Cook for a few minutes until top (now the bottom) is cooked.
  • Alternately, place the frying pan under a preheated broiler until the top is cooked and slightly puffed, about a minute or two. The frying pan must be ovenproof in order to do this. To ovenproof the handle, wrap it with a double thickness of aluminum foil.
  • Cut into wedges and serve.

BACON VEGGIE FRITTATA



Bacon Veggie Frittata image

Egg Fritatta with Bacon, and veggies. Substitute whatever veggies you have in the refrigerator if you'd like. I came up with this recipe while having a serious craving (yes im preggers) for fritatta but did not like any of the ones I came accross in cookbooks that I have. My 3 year loves this, mainly because the veggies are chopped so he has no idea. I served it with ketchup and it was a hit!

VEGGIE MEDLEY FRITTATA



Veggie Medley Frittata image

I found this on the back of a box of Morning Star Farms "bacon" strips. I added one (7 oz) can chopped green chilies and I used sharp cheddar cheese instead of the regular. I also have used a can of green beans in place of the broccoli, but cut them up. We loved it. I always make this when my mom, who is a vegetarian comes to visit. Although it is a vegetarian bacon substitute, once it's mixed in and baked, it still has that satisfying bacon flavor and it's hard to tell that it really isn't bacon. YUM.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add color, texture, and flavor to your frittata. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, kale, and zucchini.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the frittata. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't flip the frittata too soon. Wait until the bottom is golden brown and the top is set.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.
