Basic Frittata

Basic Frittata

Ingredients:
6 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons water

Directions:
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1⁄ tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
2
1⁄ tablespoon butter
2
Cheese, cooked meat, or vegetables for toppings
1. Whisk the eggs with the water, salt, and pepper. Bring a 10" ovenproof, nonstick
skillet to temperature over medium-high heat, then add the oil and butter. Once
the butter is melted and starts to foam, pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to
distribute the mixture evenly around the pan.
2. Lower the heat to medium and continue to cook until the eggs begin to set,
occasionally tilting the pan to move any uncooked egg mixture evenly across it.
Once the eggs start to set, distribute the toppings across the entire top of the
frittata.
3. Place the pan in the oven and broil until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted
and begins to bubble. Remove from the broiler and let the frittata rest for 2
minutes. Slice as a pie and serve hot or at room temperature. You can stretch the
frittata to 8 servings if you serve it with a salad.
