Pepperoni Frittata
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
8 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 large onion (chopped, around two cups)
2 long green chillies (finely chopped)
1 large tomato (chopped)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
20 pepperonis
1/2 cup shredded cheese
3 tablespoons oil
salt
Method:
Preheat oven at 400 F or 200 C.
Line a microwaveable plate with paper towel and spread the pepperonis. Run in the microwave for only 15 seconds to release excess fat from pepperonis. Wipe off fat with absorbent paper towels and keep pepperonis aside.
On medium flame, heat an oven proof non-stick or ceramic skillet with oil. Saute chopped onion and green chillies. Add very little salt so that onion soften and cook fast. Then add chopped tomato and cook till it breaks down and pulpy.
Simultaneously, beat eggs with milk, salt and pepper. Don't add too much salt as frittata will be finished with shredded cheese and pepperonis.
Add whipped eggs to the skillet and stir lightly to release egg mixture from the side. Keep only for a couple of minutes on the stove.
Transfer the skillet in the oven and after a couple of minutes, take the skillet out of the oven. Top egg mixture with pepperonis and shredded cheese. Put skillet back into the oven. Within 5 minutes or less, eggs will cook and set with cheese melted.
Serve frittata with toasted bread and ketchup.
