Artichoke Frittata Recipe

A quick and delicious summer recipe!

What is a frittata? It's an Italian dish made with fried, beaten eggs. AND it's delicious.

I make this dish all the time in the summer and usually pair it with a salad or fruit dish. Today I was in a hurry and just put some simple mandarin oranges with it. It's wonderful for any meal of the day and makes excellent leftovers as it heats up easily in the microwave. It's also a beautiful dish to look at making it perfect for a fancy brunch (you don't have to tell your guests how easy it was to make).  

How do you make it? See below...

Artichoke Frittata Recipe

• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1/2 cup white onion
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tsp Italian Seasonings (dry)
• 1 TB Parsley (dry)

-Sautee the above ingredients in a non-stick, broiler safe, frying pan for about 3 minutes.

• 6 eggs, beaten.
• 1/2 tsp nu-salt (if you are trying to cut down on sodium, otherwise use regular salt)
• 1/2 tsp regular salt
• 1/4 tsp fresh pepper

-Whisk all ingredients together and pour over onion mixture in the pan. 

• 14 ounce can quartered, artichoke hearts.

-Place artichoke hearts evenly over egg mixture.

-Cover the pan and over medium-low heat, cook for 7-8 minutes. Edges should be brown but top will not be fully cooked.

Set oven to broil and broil Frittata for approximately 3 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy!

• Sprinkle Parmesan Cheese on top (optional)

Use a rubber spatula lightly around edges and your frittata will slide out of the pan easily. Cut into equal sections and serve with a side salad or fruit cup. You can make this the night before serving

 and heat up in the oven also.
