Italian Frittata

[kevin313]

One of our favorite things to make for breakfast (or dinner) when I don't feel like fussing with multiple omelettes. I think of it as a quiche without the crust!

My mom used to make great fritatas (she was raised with people from Italy and pronounced it free-tata) in her Sunbeam electric fry pan. They were about an inch and a half thick and of course never went in the oven...no cheese topping either. She'd use zucchini, cut-up tomato, bacon and a few other things I don't remember. Even though it's pretty simple I never bothered to learn how to make them. Now I know

Looks good as usual.  Make me think I really need to get some cast iron pans....

Nothing beats Cast for frying and saute'ing.

I have a 20" skillet that makes the best southern fried foods. Trick to cast and frying is to NOT flip it but 2-3X during cooking. Let that nice crust build up.
