Basic Frittata Recipe

Notes: this is an extremely fast an easy meal, and a great way to use up leftover vegetables, meat, or cheese.

Serves 2-3. 

6 large eggs
3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1/4 cup parmesan, or other cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables, meat, extra cheese, etc.

Whisk together eggs, cream, cheese (if using), and salt and pepper in a large bowl.

In a medium (about 10-inch) oven-proof skillet, add about 1-2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in vegetables or meats, and sauté until cooked through or heated (if they have already been cooked). Pour egg mixture over vegetable mixture. Cook until frittata begins to set, but is still a little runny in the center. Top with extra cheese, if using, then place under the broiler for about 2 minutes, until cooked through and beginning to brown on the top. Remove from oven, and let rest for a few minutes. When slightly cooled, use a spatula to remove the frittata onto a cutting board. Cut and serve.
