A good frittata is one of the best recipes to have in your last-minute repertoire. One minute it looks like you've got nothing for lunch, the next minute you've thrown together a cheesy, veggie-packed plate of deliciousness. Meal saved.

serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
1 medium potato, cut into quarters and thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 medium red or green bell pepper, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram, basil, or oregano or favorite herb
1 clove garlic, mined or pressed
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)
red pepper flakes (optional)

directions

Heat oil in a large skillet. Saute the potatoes, peppers and onions covered, stirring frequently, for about 8 minutes, until they are tender and golden. Stir in the herb and garlic.

Pour the beaten eggs over the sauteed vegetables, tilting the pan to distribute them evenly. Sprinkle on the cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, until the eggs are set and golden on the bottom.

To brown the top of the frittata: if your skillet is flameproof, simply place the frittata under a preheated broiler for about 2 minutes.

Otherwise, carefully slide the frittata onto a plate and then flip it over, back into the skillet, to brown the other side.
