Teresa's Breakfast Frittata Recipe

I got this versatile recipe from a Spanish friend. Resembling a Spanish tortilla, it’s my favorite when I want “breakfast for dinner.” Plus saying the word “frittata” is just so much fun!—Teresa Blackburn

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into slivers
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
6 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
Pinch of dried thyme and oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
1 cup (4 ounces) grated
Gruyère cheese



Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Place olive oil and butter in a heavy ovenproof skillet (or a well-seasoned iron skillet). Heat over medium heat until butter melts. Add green onions, bell pepper and garlic; sauté about 3 minutes. Scatter potatoes over all. Cover skillet and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Whisk together eggs, cream, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper. When potatoes are tender, pour egg mixture evenly over top of potatoes. Jiggle skillet slightly to make sure eggs run down between potatoes.
4. Sprinkle cheese evenly over top of eggs. Place skillet in oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes, until eggs are soft-set and cheese is melted. Remove from oven. Let stand about 3 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with slices of crusty buttered bread and jam. Serves 6.

Boost the healthfulness of tomatoes by cooking them up with a bit of olive oil. Your body will absorb their antioxidants better than from the raw fruit.
