osprey_archerMy friend Rachel sent me a frittata recipe, which I will share with you now, for lo! it is glorious.
1. It's delicious.
2. It's really easy to make.
3. It creates LEFTOVERS.
Admittedly I haven't figured out how best to deal with leftover frittata - the recipe suggests eating it in a sandwich, which I've done, but it really seems kind of suboptimal - but hey, it's one less meal I have to make, so there's that.
Frittata for one, a la Rachel
olive oil
1/2 small onion
4 eggs (I've also used three)
1/3 cup of milk. I never measure liquid ingredients if I can help it, because that's just one more cup to watch; this recipe is pretty forgiving of that.
salt
minced fresh thyme
goat cheese
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook onion until lightly caramelized (on the stove, in case that's not clear. The oven is for later.) Set the onions aside.
Whisk together eggs and milk. Pour egg mixture into frying pan and cook till half set. Sprinkle top with onions, thyme, goat cheese - this is just the combination I've used; I daresay lots of things could go on there. I tried bleu cheese, which went pretty well, and ham and cheddar and apples might be nice. I can't decide if onions would go with that...
Anyway, once you've decked the frittata top, put it in the onion and cook. The recipe says 20 - 25 minutes, though I've found it takes more like 10-15. Probably my frittatas are more than half cooked when they go in the oven.

Asparagus AND bacon, perhaps?
