Meat and Cheese Frittata

In my opinion, a frittata is really just a glorified omelet, but it looks cooler and the name is fun to say.  We tried the basic frittata recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book (pg. 233) for dinner one night, and we really enjoyed it.  Once again, I'm going to write it down as we liked it, although you should know you can put basically anything you want into a frittata!

What You'll Need:

6 eggs

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/4 c. chopped onion (or less)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 Tb. margarine/butter

3/4 c. meat (we used Turkey sausage, and it was so good!)

2 Tb. grated Parmesan cheese

What to Do:

1.  Beat eggs and pepper, set aside.  In a 10-inch oven safe skillet, cook onion and garlic in margarine until tender.  Stir in meat. 

2.  Pour egg mixture into skillet over meat.  Transfer pan to a 350* oven.  Cook for 15 minutes (or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean).  

3.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Cut into wedges.
