Steps:
- In a small nonstick skillet (I use 8-inch), over medium heat, sauté the onions until translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
- Add basil and cook 2 more minutes.
- Place in a bowl and let cool slightly.
- Clean out the pan and spray with nonstick spray.
- Beat the eggs the water and 3 tablespoons Parmesan until a little foamy and pour into the nonstick skillet.
- Pour the veggie mixture into the eggs and mix it up a bit.
- Cook over low heat, without stirring, about 10-15 minutes until the eggs are set- it will still be a bit runny on top.
- While eggs are cooking, heat up your broiler and after eggs have set, sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the top and broil until bubbly and lightly brown.
- Great for weekend brunch!
- This serves 2 hungry folk or 4 not so hungry folk.
BLAIR'S FRITTATA WITH TOMATO, ONION, AND BASIL
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 8 to 10-inch skillet or saute pan. Add the onion, and cook slowly until the onion is wilted and translucent. Add the hot sauce. Add the tomatoes, raise the heat, and cook for several minutes, stirring, or until the liquid has evaporated. Drain off the fat and transfer the tomatoes and onions to a bowl. (If desired, add well-drained artichoke hearts here.) Mix in salt and pepper, then cheese and basil.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper until blended, but not smooth. In a well-seasoned 8 to 10-inch skillet (non-stick works well), heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Arrange the tomato and onion mixture in the bottom of the skillet, and pour the eggs over the top, pressing the top down with a fork so the solids are covered. Stir a little. Cook over medium heat until the eggs begin to bubble gently around the edges.
- Immediately place the frittata in the center of the oven and cook until it is puffy and set in the center, about 10 minutes. Slide out onto a serving plate. Serve immediately or set aside and serve at room temperature. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and more hot red pepper sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Whisk eggs and cream in large bowl to blend. Stir in feta cheese, tomatoes, onions, basil, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add egg mixture; do not stir. Cook until eggs start to firm and sides and bottom begin to brown, lifting sides occasionally to let uncooked egg run underneath, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with olives and Parmesan cheese. Transfer skillet to broiler and cook until eggs start to puff and brown, about 2 minutes. Using flexible spatula, loosen edges and bottom of frittata. Slide out onto plate. Slice frittata into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a significant impact on the final dish. Use fresh, ripe vegetables, flavorful herbs, and high-quality cheese.
- Don't Overcook the Eggs: Frittata should be cooked until the eggs are just set, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a Nonstick Skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Let the Frittata Cool Slightly Before Serving: This will help the frittata hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Frittata is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its simple ingredients and endless variations, it's a great option for any home cook. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, these tips will help you make a perfect frittata every time.
