There are many frittata recipes out there, but I think the best is no frittata recipe at all! I make them out of four basic ingredients: eggs, cheese, potatoes and onions. You will have a delicious frittata with just those, or you can add others to your liking and create your very own masterpiece. Also, you can make it a vegetarian frittata, or add some yummy breakfast meat. You decide! Here are the basic steps:

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 10-12 eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (your choice)
  • 4 yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 large or 2 small onions
  • salt and pepper to taste Optional Ingredients:
  • fresh spinach
  • diced bell pepper
  • fresh rosemary
  • sliced mushrooms
  • diced or crumbled cooked bacon
  • browned ground sausage
  1. Step 1

    Potatoes: quarter each potato and then slice thinly – approximately ¼” thick
    Onion: same as above, quarter, then slice thinly

  2. Step 2

    Heat 3-4 T oil in a nonstick skillet, add in potatoes. Stir until slightly browned. Add onions and sauté until slightly soft. Add optional ingredients if desired.

  3. Step 3

    In a separate bowl beat eggs with a couple tablespoons of water or milk, salt and pepper to taste, and stir in most of the cheese. Keep a little bit to sprinkle on top of the finished frittata.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer sautéed ingredients to a large bowl and either clean the skillet or get a new one. Spray with cooking spray and transfer sautéed ingredients into the cleaned/new skillet.

  5. Step 5

    Pour egg mixture over the veggies and stir through. Cook over medium-low heat with the lid on for the first 5-10 minutes. Do not stir. Once eggs begin to set, use a rubber spatula to keep frittata from sticking to the pan.

  6. Step 6

    When the frittata is nearly set, it’s time to flip! I place a large platter face down over the open skillet, and turn the pan over. Then slide from the platter back into your skillet to brown the other side.

  7. Step 7

    Once it’s browned, slide it back onto your serving platter and…VOILA! Your brunch guests will be astounded by this frittata recipe.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be creative! There are lots more ingredients you could choose besides my "optional ones"
  • This doesn't have to be just for breakfast - it makes a great dinner, too!
