What is a Frittata you ask? A Frittata is an egg-based dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche, enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, vegetables or pasta. A great addition for a brunch, side for dinner or a simple breakfast served with fruit.
Recipe:
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
6 free range eggs, beaten
1/2 cup raw milk or organic 1/2 & 1/2
2 cups fresh organic baby spinach
2/3 cup feta cheese (any cheese you desire)
8 pancetta slices, cooked crisp
1 shallot, diced
salt and pepper to taste
Set oven on broil.
Heat olive oil and butter in a cast iron *(seasoned) skillet over med high heat. Add shallots and caramelize. Beat eggs in glass bowl and add milk. Pour into heated skillet and add the Spinach, Feta and top with Pancetta. Cook for several minutes with heat at medium. Place skillet on middle rack of oven and keep door slightly open for 2-3 minutes. Careful not to scorch.
Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes. This will insure any egg that might be runny to cook all the way through.
Serve with fruit for breakfast, a main for brunch or a side for dinner.
Enjoy
