friTA-DA!! :)

ok, so i haven't done this in a while... i've still been cooking great meals, i just haven't posted them... well now i'm back!  i'll start by posting my yummy fritatta from last night.



killer friTA-DA!
5 eggs
handful baby bella shrooms, sliced
handful grape tomatoes, cut in 1/2
big handful baby spinach
3 tbsp fresh grated pameggiano reggiano
s + p
1 tbsp veg oil
crusty roll- i used a "seedsational" roll from whole foods- YUM! :)
butter

preheat oven to 350.
in a small bowl, whisk eggs and a generous splash of water.  season w/ s+p and 1 tbsp of cheese.  let sit.  meanwhile, pre-heat 10" oven-safe non-stick pan.  warm oil, and add shrooms.  sautee for a minute and once the start to get some color, THEN add s+p [if you salt them in the beginning, they'll steam, not sautee].  add tomatoes and sautee for another minute.  add 1/2 of the eggs and mix.  add spinach and then add the rest of the eggs.  finish by sprinkling rest of cheese over the top- make sure a little of the cheese if touching the side of the pan [you'll thank me later!] when the edges are set and the top is still runny, place the pan in the oven for 3-5 minutes.  it's cooked through when the top just barely jiggles [like a cheesecake]... now turn on the broiler to brown the cheese a little and don't turn your back on it- a minute or two.  take the pan out of the over and let stand for a minute or two before cutting into slices w/ a pizza cutter.  turn the oven off and place uncut roll in there to warm through for a few minutes.  cut and butter. 


another nice addition to this would've been a salad of arugula w/ a light lemon viniagrette and chilled glass of white wine.

Enjoy! ;)
