Frittata Mamas Weeknight Special Food

FRITTATA MAMA'S WEEKNIGHT SPECIAL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Get your big oven safe pot out on the stove to heat on medium -- I use my enameled dutch oven.
• Melt the butter in the pan over medium heat, add Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes and Onion, mushrooms and diced red pepper and saute until potatoes lightly browned stirring frequently, aproximately 10 minutes.
• Then add your bread, bacon and cleaned [and dry] spinach until it is all coated and looks well distributed. Pat the mixture down gently so its fairly even looking. Whisk your eggs, ricotta, half & half, salt and pepper until fluffy -- you can use blender if you have.
• Pour egg mixture over the other components. Don't stir; sprinkle your Parmesan & Romano across the top. Put it in the oven on middle rack uncovered for 45-50 minutes, until it is golden brown the middle is firm looking.
• Serve with sliced apple or grapes or a nice salad.

CHEAT SHEET ROASTED VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the broccoli florets with 2 teaspoons oil and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Divide a nonstick half-sheet pan (13-by-18-inches) into four quadrants and place the broccoli in one quadrant in a single layer. Repeat with the carrots, bell pepper and onion, tossing each with 2 teaspoons oil and some salt and pepper and spreading in a single layer in its own quadrant. Roast until the vegetables are softened slightly and deeply browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the sheet pan and lower the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and cream in a large bowl and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon oil over the top of the vegetables, then pour the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the eggs. Bake, rotating once halfway through, until the eggs are completely cooked through, puffed and just the slightest bit golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Slice the frittata into portions and use an offset spatula to remove from the pan. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
