When all else fails...a good Frittata never hurt anyone

Long day, cannot decide what to eat, wife is in the mood for whatever, raining outside and it is very gray and dreary. When all else fails a good Frittata is the way to go, all you need are a few left over items in the fridge and you are good to go. Today we went for a goat cheese, spinach and roasted red pepper one. Below is the recipe, and it totally hit the spot. Hope you enjoy...sorry no pic for this one

6 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Generous pinches of salt and pepper
1 roasted red pepper, patted dry and cut into bite-sized strips
A handful of baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup creamy plain or flavoured goat cheese, crumbled
1 Tbsp. butter

Preheat broiler and set rach about 3 inches from element.


In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt and pepper. Stir in roasted pepper, spinach and half the goat cheese.

In a large nonstick pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir egg mixture, then add to pan. Evenly distribute red pepper, spinach and cheese.

Once edges start to set, tilt pan and lift set edges. Let uncooked egg run onto pan. Cook until the top is barely set, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining goat cheese.

If hand of pan is not ovenproof, wrap with foil. Set pan under broiler for 30 to 60 seconds. Let stand a couple of minutes before serving in wedges.

Recommended beverage: a Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Mimosa, Bloody Mary, Screwdriver
