Allessio's Frittata - Tomatoes and Sweet Peppers

Submitted by MarraMamba

"A simple delicious frittata with a little heat to it. I bake it in the oven at 325, i find it easier, however whichever you prefer"

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 cup chopped onion, mix of red and white onion preferred
• 1⁄4 cup sweet red pepper, finely diced
• 1 small hot red pepper, finely diced (or to taste)
• 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh tomato
• 4 large eggs
• 1⁄3 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
• 1 pinch salt
• extra parmesan cheese

directions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 4 minutes or until the onions are transparent. Add the sweet and hot pepper, and the tomatoes; cook for 2 to 3 minutes and let cool in the pan.
2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat in the cheese and salt. Add the cooled sautéed onions to the egg mixture and stir well. Wipe out the frying pan with a paper towel and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan. Heat the oil and then pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cover and cook for 5 or 6 minutes. When the liquid is set and the frittata moves easily in the pan, put a large plate over the pan and flip the frittata out onto the plate. Add another teaspoon of olive oil to the pan and carefully slip the frittata back in to cook the other side. Cover and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.
3. If cooking in the oven, preheat to 325, dont cover and just place in oven for approx 20 min or desired doneness. I put extra parmesan over the top for the last 5 minutes.
4. Slide the frittata onto a serving platter; slice into wedges and serve immediately.

Found this to be really bland. Mine needed to bake for 30 minutes for the center to set. Some cheddar cheese would have added more flavour I think.

Loved the mix of flavours here. The onions and sweet red peppers blended together perfectly. Great diet food! Made for Top Favourites of 2009 game.

*Reviewed during ZWT4* I loved the mixed onions and capsicums together. I didn't add the hot pepper as my husband doesn't like them. I did add some pepper though. Great directions. I cooked mine in nthe oven and it set beautifully. Added some extra cheese on top
