Garden Frittata Recipe

Real Restaurant Breakfast Recipe

A fresh from the Garden Frittata Recipe makes a truly delicious and nutritious meal.

It is wonderful to live in a farming valley and have easy access to freshly grown, hand-picked, organic vegetables and herbs.

I make use of this blessing in many ways, including this restaurant recipe.

Preparation time: 25 minutes. Serves 4.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon each of butter and peanut oil or vegetable oil
• 8 eggs, beaten
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard or coarse ground mustard
• 1/2 cup green pepper, cored and diced
• 1/3 cup white or red onion, diced (or 4 green onions, white part and tender green part, chopped)

• 1/2 cup broccoli, blanched and chopped
• 2 cups spinach, blanched and well drained

Instructions:

• Prepare all vegetables and grate the cheddar cheese (or purchase grated cheddar if you are short on time)
• Heat a 10-12 inch pan over moderate heat
• While the pan is heating, whip the eggs with the mustard in a mixing bowl with a wire whip until blended but not frothy
• When the pan is hot enough to make a drop of water sizzle, add the butter/oil combination
• When the butter stops foaming, add the peppers, onions and then the mushrooms and saute' for 2 minutes
• Add broccoli, spinach, garlic and herbs and heat for about one minute
• Add the eggs and turn the heat to low and let sit without stirring until the eggs are set underneath (to save time, lift the edges of the eggs with a rubber spatula and allow the liquid egg to run underneath)
• Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, if desired
• Sprinkle cheese on top and finish under a heated broiler about 3-4 inches below the heat
• Remove from heat when the frittata is puffed up and golden
• Garnish with tomato and then cut the frittata into wedges
• Plate the frittata wedges and garnish each piece with a dollop of salsa
