Base Fritatta Recipe
This particular recipe makes a light fritatta. Double the veggies and cheese and use 8 eggs for a more robust meal that can serve 6. I make 2 or 3 at once with different ingredients and freeze them. Add a few generous spoonfuls of ricotta or cottage cheese in the whisked eggs stage to get a more creamy result.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put a large frying pan on medium heat with a dob of butter or swirl of olive oil.
- 2
Saute onions and mushrooms (with minced garlic if you wish) for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan. Keep the pan on the hot burner.
- 3
Beat eggs, then add half (or all) of cheese and all herbs/spices and stir until combined.
- 4
Pour egg mixture into hot pan and top with mushroom and onion mixture and zucchini. Use a spatula to push veggies around evenly. Do not stir. Place lid on and turn heat down to simmer.
- 5
After 5-10 minutes, place halved cherry tomatoes on top as shown in photo. You can sprinkle the other half of the cheese on at this point. Replace the lid.
Photo shows tomatoes added at the 5-minute mark. Frittata will look wet for most of cooking because of the steam that collects under the lid. This is normal and will not affect the taste.
- 6
Check fritatta at 30 minutes. Once it is firm, it is done (check by sliding a sharp knife in the middle. It should come away mostly clean of egg).
- 7
Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing into 4 or 6 pieces. Excellent with a side of store-bought or fresh homemade salsa.

This is just a base recipe. You can add whatever vegetables, proteins, and cheeses you like. Classic ham and mozzarella, parmesan and bacon, three-pepper, jalapeños and large diced tomatoes are other favourites. I sometimes add a second grated zucchini, a full 8oz carton of mushrooms, and rings of red onions to this version.

So I had veggies needing to be used and eggs... but alas..no cast iron skillet, which is standard for a frittata. This was the result and it got rave reviews and was remarkably easy. Any veggies will do...but I simple love the flavor of bacon and brocolli with eggs.

Fluffy Frittata Fluffy Frittata
I wanted to eat a fluffy frittata. So, I made this by adapting Bill Granger's fluffy scrambled eggs.It's important to fold the eggs. It's really delicious with black pepper! But, since I have kids, I made it with white pepper. You can also use a 26 cm frying pan; however, it may be hard to get in and out of the oven and may be heavy, so be careful. Recipe by Shake25

Saturday Frittata Saturday Frittata
This is an improvised frittata based on a recipe from How to Cook Everthing by Mark Bittman. We were out of fresh vegetables, so just had to use what was in the cupboard, which is one reason there are no precise measures listed in the recipe. To spruce it up you could add pico de gallo, salsa, or cooked frozen spinach or other veggies you like.
