An Ode to Frittatas

If you could design the perfect food, what characteristics would it have?

• Inexpensive
• Healthy – plenty of vitamins, minerals, protein
• Delicious
• Easy to cook and forgiving to mistakes
• Can be made in large batches and stored in portions for later easily
• Flexible with ingredients – can be made with whatever you like and have on hand.
• Can be made with a single pan and is easy to clean up.
• Doesn’t take long to cook.

There is such a food and its name is frittata.

Start by cooking whatever vegetables and meat you like in a large pan to about 75% doneness. Add enough scrambled eggs and shredded cheese to cover them and cook until the bottom is browned. Either flip and continue cooking or bake at 350 until the eggs have solidified. And that’s it. Of all the foods in the world, I would say this is the best one for amateur cooks to try.
