Average User Rating:
A cross between an omelette and a pizza, this frittata combines the best of both dishes. This delicious egg dish blends everyone's favorite ingredients for a saucy scrambled supper your family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. (15 mL) olive oil
- 1 cup (250 mL) chopped onion
- 1 cup (250 mL) sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup (250 mL) chopped green pepper
- 1 cup (250 mL) diced pepperoni
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp. (30 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp. (12 mL) salt
- dash black pepper
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) spaghetti sauce (any kind)
- 1 cup (250 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the broiler element of the oven. Arrange the top rack of the oven so that it is about 6-inches (15 cm) from the broiler element.
- In a 10-inch (25 cm) non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms and green pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion is tender — about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the pepperoni and continue to cook for another 3 or 4 minutes, until the onion and mushrooms are lightly browned.
- In a bowl, beat together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet — but don't stir. Turn the heat down to low and let the frittata cook until very nearly completely set — 12 to 15 minutes. The bottom will be browned (but not burned), the edges firmly set, and the middle will still be a bit soft. Remove from heat.
- Dollop the spaghetti sauce over the top of the frittata as evenly as possible and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Place the skillet onto the upper rack of the oven and let broil until the cheese is melted, bubbly and beginning to brown — 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for a minute or two before removing from the pan and cutting into wedges to serve.
