I made a cheese frittata

Rewarded myself with this after spending an hour chopping ice and shoveling snow.

Looks yummy, how did you make it?

That's something I've really enjoyed. DW and I have friends who do an excellent job with them.

In a measuring cup, crack 2 eggs. Add a little water (about a tablespoon). Add any seasonings you like - I use salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders. Mix until well, blended. Pour onto a well-lubricated plate (cooking or olive oil works better than non-stick spray). Sprinkle with dry grated Parmesan cheese and shredded sharp cheddar to taste. Microwave 4 minutes (I like mine really well-done, so if you like yours less set, cut down the time. It may take some experimenting).

Thanks, I have to try that. I never had one before.

I've made eggs in the microwave before, and they actually come out pretty good! I used to do that at work sometimes.

I make frittatas with veggies in them, usually half a dozen eggs and the frittata lasts for 3 meals. No microwave, just stovetop and then a quick under-the-broiler to set the top.

Isn’t a frittata, a thin omelette?

 

[debodun]

A frittata differs from an omelette primarily because a frittata is cooked mostly in the oven with the filling mixed directly into the eggs, resulting in an open-faced dish, while an omelette is cooked entirely on the stovetop and folded around the filling, creating a more enclosed presentation; essentially, a frittata is like an "open-faced omelette" with a firmer texture.

When I have cooked frittatas they have cream as well as eggs and chopped up veggies and sometimes bacon, cook in oven, come out quite thick - almost like a quiche without the base.
