Print Recipe

This frittata is simple and quick to prepare, tastes great as leftovers and stores well in the freezer!

Ingredients

Scale

6 eggs

1/3 cup of aged cheese of choice (I used cheddar this time) **optional**

3 to 4 ounces lambs quarter leaves, washed and dried in salad spinner

1 medium to large sweet pepper, chopped

6 ounces onion, chopped

1 large clove garlic, smashed and chopped

3 teaspoons olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Crack six eggs in to a large mixing bowl, add salt and pepper, and beat with a fork or a whisk to mix up well.  Set aside.
  2.  Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium high heat and add onion and garlic.  Cook until they barely begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add chopped pepper and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the onion and garlic from burning.
  4. Add lambsquarter to pan and cook until completely wilted, about 5 minutes.
  5. Spoon the vegetable mixture into the mixing bowl with your waiting eggs and whisk around until everything is well mixed.
  6. Add one teaspoon olive oil and coat bottom of the already heated skillet.  Then, pour in egg mixture and distribute evenly.
  7. Lower heat to medium and cook until eggs begin to set, about 10 minutes.
  8. Turn oven to broil and sprinkle cheese, if you are using it, over the top of your frittata.
  9. Transfer your frittata to the middle shelf of your oven and broil for 5 to 10 minutes or until the top of your frittata turns a nice golden brown.
  10. Remove your frittata and taste that deliciousness.  Uh, huh.  That’s what home cooked tastes like, baby!

Notes

This pairs well with  Tomato sauce.
