Oh wow, you read my mind! I had actually picked up my phone to look for a frittata recipe! I'm going to make a smaller one but this sounds delicious!

Mine is in the oven and I did add spinach. Also basil and cilantro. Can't wait for it to be done!

I was draining the Fromage blanc this morning, and the cheesecloth ripped after removing it from the strainer. I lost it all in the sink.

Trying again tonight.

I hope the next batch works better!

Well, that’s the first 90% silver dime I found in circulation in quite a while….

On the way back from the dentist. Entire bottom jaw is numb.

My very first frittata!

Also my first time cooking in a cast iron skillet, and I'm impressed! Nothing stuck to it. My new favorite pan. One thing I made sure of: wearing hot mitts! None of my other skillets have handles that get hot on the stove top, so I kept reminding myself to "mitt up" when I was stir frying the vegetables.

As far as the recipe, I kind of went by what I'd read online, and then made it up as I went along, with that info to guide me. Here's my recipe.

12 eggs (med-lg)
Olive oil
3 cups of vegetables, including:
broccoli, cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic, celery
3 tablespoons whole milk and 2 tablespoons sour cream, mixed together
salt, pepper, Italian seasoning
Parmesan cheese, approx. 1/4 cup

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Oil skillet with olive oil before cooking.
Saute veg in 1-2 tablespoons (more) olive oil in cast iron skillet until they're nearly done.
Whisk eggs slightly, add milk/sour cream, and seasonings and mix a bit more.
Pour egg mixture over veg in skillet.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake for 10 minutes. Center should be just firm.

This was my first try, and it's a little bit bland. Next time I'm going to use shredded cheddar cheese, and mix it in with the eggs. And some more/different seasoning. Any suggestions?

Another note: This is a 10" pan. If I had large/extra large eggs, I'd probably use 10. Also, I was going to use spinach, but already had plenty of veg. If I had, I would have added it at the end of the stir frying.

The spinach could be added to the pan just before adding the egg mixture.

Why didn't I think of jalapeno?!?! We have gobs of them in the freezer!

Sounds good to me.

Here’s hoping I can wait that long!

That will be difficult! Do you have a cheese cave to store it in?

so I kept reminding myself to "mitt up" when I was stir frying the vegetables.

Yeah, must remember that!!!!

I lost it all in the sink.

That is horrible!!!

I have a cool basement I am using as a cave.
