Simple Kitchen with Krishna: Frittata

A Frittata is basically a Quiche, only simpler.
This is another simple egg recipe. This one takes a little longer but it’s worth the wait. The best part of this recipe is that you can put whatever vegetables you have on hand. Whether you want a spinach frittata or tomato and cheese frittata, you’re the boss and you decide what you want in it.

Ingredients:
  • 5 eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp. cream
  • Half of an onion, diced or julienned
  • Half of a tomato, diced or however you want to cut it
  • ¼ cup of any grated cheese
  • Unsalted butter
  • Salt & pepper
Directions:
Turn oven on to broiler. Beat the eggs with a whisk in a medium bowl then add the milk, cream and seasonings. Melt butter on high heat and sauté the onion and tomato using a stainless frying pan for about 2-3 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Pour the egg mixture to the pan and don’t do anything for about 10 seconds. Start stirring, making sure the bottom doesn’t burn. Once a little firm, add the grated cheese then continue stirring. When you notice that it’s starting to get firmer, throw the pan in the oven for about 3-4 minutes or depending on how cooked you want it to be. I personally like a softer frittata so I leave it in the oven for less than 4 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and try to lift up the sides using a rubber spatula. Flip the frittata bottom up on a chopping board. Done!

Serves 2-3
