FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Drizzle olive oil over the mushrooms and asparagus on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast until a nice color is achieved, about 12 minutes. Set aside.
• Beat together the eggs with some salt and pepper in a bowl. (Do not over-beat; just mix until the eggs mostly come together.) Stir in the Monterey Jack, Parmesan and hot sauce and set aside.
• In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and golden brown, several minutes. Add the diced potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to cook for a couple of minutes. Finally, add the asparagus, mushrooms, olives and roasted red peppers and cook, stirring, until everything is hot.
• Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed across the bottom of the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture so that it evenly coats everything. Let it sit on the burner for 30 to 45 seconds to set the edges, then put the skillet in the oven. Cook, watching it carefully, until the eggs are set but not very brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Slide the frittata out of the skillet and onto a cutting board. Sprinkle on the basil and slice into wedges with a long serrated knife.

TOMATO FRITTATA WITH FRESH MARJORAM OR THYME

Steps:

• Divide the tomatoes into two batches. Slice one batch into rounds (about 1/3 inch thick), and seed and chop the other batch. Toss the chopped tomatoes in a bowl with the garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, and stir in salt and pepper to taste, milk and half the marjoram or thyme. Stir in the chopped tomatoes.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with a wooden or plastic spatula in your other hand, so as to let layers of eggs form during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked, arrange the tomato slices on top of the frittata, turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. (Use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet.) Cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the frittata with the spatula, tilting the pan so that the bottom doesn't burn. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn. (At most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler.) Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for 5 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle on the remaining marjoram or thyme. Loosen the edges with the spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.
