Double Rainbow

A beautiful rainbow was visible from our street today.

First Time Fritata

About two weeks ago, I tried making a fritata for the first time, and it was very easy and turned out well! I'm just now getting around to posting the photo.

I got the basic recipe/instructions from one of our cookbooks, then added some vegetables that we had on hand. Basically I mixed six eggs with salt, pepper, a handful of cheddar cheese, a handful of loose frozen spinach (thaw in microwave for about 30 seconds, then squeeze out excess water with a fork), some chopped blanched broccoli (blanched the day before and stored in fridge), sauteed mushrooms and onions.

(I sauteed the mushrooms and onions first, then set them aside to cool while preparing the egg mixture. I added the mushrooms and onions to the eggs right before pouring the mixture into the skillet.)

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in an ovenproof skillet until melted, then pour the egg/veggie mixure in. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook undisturbed for 10 minutes. Then put the whole skillet in a 350 degree oven for another 10 minutes. (The cookbook said 10-20 minutes in the oven, or just until the top of the fritata is no longer runny. 10 minutes was plenty in this case.)

We ate this in wedges with some salad and garlic toast. Yum!

I used our All-Clad non stick pan which is oven proof. I would probably use a little less butter next time. I'll definitely make this again because it was fairly quick and easy!
