Ron's Artichoke and Two Cheese Frittata

Submitted by mersaydees

"This is a simple and delicious breakfast or brunch dish, and looks delightful on the buffet table. Also good with diced cooked bacon and sliced mushrooms added. Note: due to the salt in the cheeses, no additional salt should be necessary in the cooking process. My picky DH and I created this for RSC #11."

This is a very nice combination of ingredients. I cooked mine as a scramble instead of as a frittata. I also halved the amounts of cheese called for, as a personal preference, and topped it with some freshly diced tomato for a very tasty lunch.

Fantastic!! Took about 35 minutes to set. Used smoked gouda that added a very nice touch as well as Trader Joe's Creamy Toscano Cheese~a blend of parm & farmstead cheddar. Didn't have milk so I used half and half, don't think it hurt the recipe. LOL Definitely a keeper mersaydees!

I thought a Frittata always had potato so I added some chopped tinned new potatoes as I thought 6 eggs with the quantity of artichokes was a lot. I used just 4 eggs to feed 2 people. I can't see 1 small wedge of this as a meal even with potatoes added, presumably the 'Serves 6' means at a buffet or something. Like another poster I scrambled the eggs, no point in baking, served with poached mushrooms/tomatoes with herbs & 2 toasts (each!).

I added sautéed mushrooms on top of the artichokes… other than that I followed the recipe. The recipe ingredient indicated 1 tablespoon of olive oil, but the directions never indicated where to use it… so I omitted it. I served this as an appetizer, room temperature, cut into small squares. Very yummy!

5 stars! I've never baked a fritatta in the oven before so this was something new. I scaled the recipe down to serve just 1 and baked it in a ramekin in the toaster oven. It baked up nice and round, and the artichokes were evenly distributed throughout. Very enjoyable! Made and reviewed for RSC#11.
