Frittata

Looking for a reason to pull out that cast iron skillet?  Here is a good one….Frittata.  A few basic ingredients along with a few customized add-ins and the possibilities are endless.  This week I went to a local organic farm and got a dozen farm fresh eggs.  The perfect beginning to this dish.  For add-ins, I included a left over chipotle chicken sausage, grated parm and fresh chives from my herb garden.

Frittata

8 eggs
2 T. bread crumbs
1/2 c grated cheese of your choice
1/2 c fresh herbs of your choice
chopped meat or bacon is an optional add-in
Olive Oil for coating the pan

Mix the eggs, bread crumbs, cheese, herbs and meat if you so choose.  Let it sit for 5 minutes.

In the meantime, turn on the broiler.  Coat the bottom of the cast iron skillet with olive oil and heat on the stovetop on medium for 3 minutes or so to heat up the pan.

Add the egg mixture and cook it until you can peek under the egg to see that the bottom is firm and golden.    Probably about 4-5 minutes.

Stick the whole skillet under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Serve with some lovely fruit like this for a yummy breakfast!
