Dad's Frittata

I am putting together a book with my Dad's recipes, he was a great cook and made so many wonderful meals. On Saturdays we would have this frittata for lunch with a salad and of course a glass of wine. He often used whatever was left over in the fridge to prepare this fritatta, this is one version.

Ingredients:
1/4 red pepper cut into small pieces
1/4 green pepper cut into small pieces
1/4 sweet onion, cut into small pie es
Fresh Parsley, chopped fine
Grated Parmigiano or Romano Cheese
Salt & black pepper to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
3 to 4 eggs (you can use egg whites if you want)
One good non-stick pan
Pam Spray

Preparation:
1. Have everything ready to go, Take the eggs and beat well, add salt and pepper, parsley & cheese. Put this aside.
2. Cook the peppers and onions in the non stick pan, once they have cooked, add the egg mixture.
3. With a spatula, push the egg mixture in, so that the eggs will cook. Once this is done, flip the frittata with a large plate and return the frittata to the pan so that the other side can cook.
4. Once done, place the cooked frittata onto a plate and garnish with parsley and more cheese if you wish.

  1. An easy, inexpensive, and quick meal that has become fashionable. Used to be an omelet and now it's a frittata! Don't care what you call it...I love my eggs with veges, cheese, herbs, etc.
