Parmesan and Tomato Frittata

This recipe comes from having tomatoes leftover from our friends garden.  We were all using the hashtag #marburgergarden to share our creations via social media.  This is such and easy recipe and totally customizable.  Fritattas can be an easy dinner when you have bits and pieces of leftovers in the fridge. Use the combination I have here or feel free to experiment with mushrooms, peppers, thinly sliced potatoes, sausage, ham,  really whatever veggies and meat you have.   We use about 1 to 2 cups of filling and then 1/2 to 1 c of cheese to 6 eggs plus cream.  Have fun with it and let me know how it turned out.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Large tomato chopped
  • 6 Large eggs
  • 1/4 Cup cream half and half or whole milk is fine
  • 2 ounces taleggio cheese
  • 1/2 Cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 Ounces prosciutto thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your broiler. Place an ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the tomatoes with pinch of salt. Cook just until they start to soften about 2 minutes.
  • In a bowl mix together the eggs, cream, and salt and pepper. Add this mixture to the tomatoes. Stir often until the eggs begin to set, about 3 minutes. Top it with both cheeses and put under the broiler on the middle rack. Watch it, it will take 2 to 5 minutes for the cheese to start to just brown. Remove the fritatta from the oven.
  • Top with the prosciutto and let is rest for a minute or two. Use a spatula to loosen and edges that are stuck. Bang the pan on a cutting board to loosen and then tilt to slide it out. Slice it up and serve.

Notes

If you can not find taleggio cheese any creamy cheese would work such as brie, mascarpone, even cream cheese.
