Herby Derby Frittata




This recipe is great for when you've got some eggs to spare, but you can't fathom eating an 8-egg omelette. And frittata is like a low-maintenance quiche--you skip the crust.

There are 2 parts, the vegetables/herbs and the egg mass.

For the vegetable/herb part I recommend:
Broccoli (or cauliflower)
Sweet onions
Sun-dried tomatoes
Sage leaves
Basil leaves

And for egg mass I recommend:
8 eggs
Black pepper
Salt
Asiago Cheese (or an aged hard cheese)
Vermont White Cheddar (or a softer white/yellow cheese)

And for a REALLY good time I recommend:

So then you whisk the eggs and cheese (and you can never have too much cheese) in a bowl.
Sautée the onions, soften the sun-dried tomatoes in a large oven-safe frying pan.
Blanche the cauliflower or steam the broccoli in another pot.

This is where it gets crunk. Pour the egg mass in the pan with the onions and tomatoes, then add the broccoli and sprinkle in the herbs. Take that pan and stick the whole thing in the oven at 375 degrees for 20-30 until eggs are set.

Take that beauty out, sprinkle with parmesan and get crunk!
