For those just getting up and in need of a good start to the day. Happy Health! Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Frittata A frittata is a baked omelet, far easier because it lacks that pesky step of flipping it. Frittatas appeared on the Saturnia, a fashionable Italian cruise ship in the post-WWII years. The dish was an elegant lunch on transatlantic crossings and became a U.S. craze when The New York Times ran the first English-language recipe in 1952. From EatingWell: August/September 2006, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006) Yield: 6 servings Active Time: 40 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes Ingredients 8 eggs 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup sliced red bell pepper 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and sliced 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese Preparation Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Whisk eggs, oregano, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Heat oil in a large, ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and scallions and cook, stirring constantly, until the scallions are just wilted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook, lifting the edges of the frittata to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath, until the bottom is light golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Dot the top of the frittata with cheese, transfer the pan to the oven and broil until puffy and lightly golden on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Let rest for about 3 minutes before serving. Serve hot or cold.
