welcome friends welcome back to the kitchen today we are going to make an
egg dish commonly referred to as a frittata which is essentially just a
very thick omelet where all the ingredients are mixed all the way
through and you finish it in the oven and it goes by a bunch of different
names depending on where you are but usually frittata sort of envelops the
entire thing and gets the point across so I've got a 10-inch wrought iron
skillet here it's just about up the temperature and you want to use
something that can go from the stovetop to the oven and into that I'm gonna put
some bacon that I have chopped up and I just want to fry that until it's crisp
okay well the bacon is frying off I've got eight eggs in this bowl and to that
I'm going to add some ricotta cheese and you could use you could use cottage
cheese if you wanted to you could probably use sour cream you just want to
bring a nice sort of creamy texture to the eggs I've got some chopped green
onions and I'm gonna add probably about half to two-thirds of what I've got in
this bowl I'm gonna save the rest for garnish later and I've got some grated
cheddar cheese and again I'm gonna add about two-thirds into the eggs and then
salt and pepper and we're just gonna whip this up okay this Bacon's looking
pretty good now depending on how fatty your bacon is you may need to pour out a
little bit of the fat and I'm gonna take some out because this is quite fatty so
I'm just gonna spoon a little bit out now next in I'm gonna put some corn and
I'm using frozen corn you could use frozen peas if you wanted to you could
use almost any vegetable that you like let's go put that in and fry it off just
a little bit just to warm it up and maybe give a little bit of color around
the outside also with the corn I'm gonna go in with some pickled peppers and
these are our homemade pickled peppers and if you don't have homemade pickled
peppers that's fine you could use pickled jalapenos just chop them up and
put them in I mean pickled peppers and corn go together like nobody's business
so fry that around just to get a little bit of flavor and I can get a little bit
of heat from those pickled peppers okay this looks good now in with the egg
mixture and just give that a little bit of a stir just to get it cooking a
little bit and make sure that everything's mixed into the egg okay now
I've got the rest of this cheese I'm just gonna sprinkle this on top the oven
is preheated to 375 and I'm just gonna slip this into the oven and cook it
until the egg is cooked through which could take I don't know 10 15 minutes
not very long you know where we go okay so now you can
serve this straight from the pan if you want to or you can put it out on a
platter and do a really nice presentation sometimes I'll put a little
bit of extra cheese on top and put it into the broiler and get a nice kind of
crisp brown on top tonight I didn't want to do that and you don't always have to
do things exactly the same way you can switch it up a little bit and and do as
you please but tonight I am going to put this out onto a platter and let's see
can I get it out in one piece well pretty much look at that so I'll cut a
little piece out here and we'll give it a taste
now this is also the kind of thing that you could make this up in advance put
this in the fridge and then microwave it every morning cut off a little piece and
have it for breakfast it does reheat really nicely and like I
said earlier you can put almost anything into it
potatoes are really good cooked potatoes mmm okay I really like this
I like this on so many levels I love the flavor of this combination but I also
like the fact that you can add different things and you can put some hot sauce on
this you can put anything on it you could change it really the sky's the
limit with your imagination so give this a try thanks for stopping by
see you again soon
you
