Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 medium Spanish onion, halved and thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
14 large eggs
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
Fresh basil, to garnish
Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
2 cloves garlic, made into a paste with salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, coarsely chopped
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper, yellow pepper, and onions, season with salt, and pepper and cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, and oregano until light and fluffy, and then season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir with a rubber spatula. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set up on top. Place the pan into the oven and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned and fluffy. Remove from pan and sprinkle the top with parsley. Carefully slide the frittata onto a cutting board and cut into wedges and top with some of the roasted cherry tomato sauce and garnish with fresh basil. Serve hot or at room temperature.
