Want to impress your spouse or significant other?

Quick frittata.

Ingredients:

5 large eggs

1/2 cup of diced onion

1 diced seeded and rinsed jalapeno

1 heaping tsp of finely chopped cilantro or parsley (if you don't care for cilantro)

1/2 cup of drained and finely chopped artichoke hearts

1 tsp of capers

1 cup of regular or herbed feta crumbled

1 tbs butter

salt and pepper

break eggs into a bowl and lightly beat them but not completely homogeneous
lightly salt and pepper add capers and cilantro to the egg mixture.

Heat a large skillet on medium and add butter, onion, jalapeno and artichoke hearts.

When onions soften and sizzle about 3 min spread the onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan and pour on egg mixture

Do not stir.

Let eggs cook on medium for 1 min then remove from heat.

sprinkle feta on top of eggs

Place under a broiler for about 2 or 3 min watching carefully. I usually leave oven door partially open while I watch pan. do not let eggs brown. When the feta starts to melt sightly its time to remove from oven.

Remove from oven and cover pan.

After a minute or so check and make sure the eggs are firm and thoroughly cooked

Cut into large triangle wedges and serve with cantaloupe and sourdough toast.

Hammer that does sound great, unfortunately I live with several picky eaters who have a long list of things they won't touch and a few of them happen to be on your list of ingredients. Oh well maybe I'll make it for myself some night.

lol goldbloom I know what you mean. My kids were making faces at the fritata when I made it sunday morning. After I "forced" them try a few bites they gobbled up the rest of the pan.

The other good thing about the recipe is you can substitute anything except for the eggs salt pepper and preparation method.

I've seen them with shrimp and aparagus, cheese and bacon, spinach and ham etc...

Sounds like the sort of stuff I like to cook up and put in a tortilla.

Pumpkin cooked this yesterday. It's absolutely delicious. We left out the jalapenos 'cause they aren't available in Australia.
