Veggie Fritatta


It's been a while since I've posted but this dish was so god and easy that I knew I needed to get this one out. The only problem with this recipe is you need a 10 inch oven safe frying pan. I borrowed Josh's cast iron Cracker Barrel pan.... I may need to go buy one of my own.
Chop the following:
1 medium onion
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 medium zuchinni
2 cloves garlic
saute the above in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Before adding the eggs store in a half cup of frozen or canned corn.

Beat six large egg and pour over the veggie mix....shake pan to even things out. Allow to cook on the stove top until eggs begin to set around the edges then place the pan in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. When you remove the fritatta from the oven loosen the edges with a spatula and slide it onto a serving platter. Slice and serve!

Seasoning: the original recipe called for fresh basil and parsley.... I added a little dried as I sauteed the veggies. I added half a teaspoon of red pepper, a little salt and some freshly ground black pepper. It was a little spicer than I like do I may cut out the red pepper next time. I'd also consider adding other veggies, particularly mushrooms. I think any combination of veggies would work.
