Frittata, also known as tortilla is ideal to serve at brunch or as a first course for lunch or dinner.

Prepare the equipments:
  • 2 10-inch frying pans or skillet or replace one pan with 10-inch dinner plate
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wire whisk or egg beater
Ingredients:
  • 10 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup diced cooked ham
  • 1/3 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  • 8-10 pieces green or black olives, pitted and sliced
  • 2 small potatoes, peeled and cooked then cubed
Procedure:
  1. Combine eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl. Beat mixture slightly. Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet or frying pan. Pour egg mixture into pan and tilt pan so mixture spreads evenly.
  2. As the egg mixture begins to set, let the uncooked portion flow underneath with the use of a spatula.
  3. Arrange ham, cheese, olives and potatoes on top. Cook until the edges are set but surface is still moist.
  4. Flip egg mixture top side down onto another 10-inch skillet or onto a plate with about the same diameter as the pan. The top should become bottom and the bottom should be on top.
  5. If using a plate, slide the egg mixture back to the pan with the top at the bottom. Place pan over the heat.
  6. Let cook until completely set and no longer runny. Flip frittata back onto a plate so the original top side is up. Or simply slide it onto a plate, leaving the fillings on the bottom side of the frittata.
Note: Alternatively, if you are using an ovenproof pan or skillet, you can put the skillet under the broiler ince the egg is almost set in order to brown the top

Let cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the frittata is set. Remove from broiler and cut into two wedges before serving.
