Tomato-Pancetta Frittata

"This yummy frittata would fall under the category of sophisticated comfort food. If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, wrap the handle of your skillet with foil. Also, if you don't like or can't find pancetta feel free to use a nice ham instead."

directions

  • Heat the oven to 425ºF.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper until well blended.
  • Heat a large (10-inch) nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat until hot.
  • Add the oil and heat until hot.
  • Add the pancetta and cook for 2 minute.
  • Stir in the corn and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the chopped tomato and green onions; cook for 3-4 min or until the tomato begins to soften, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in the eggs.
  • Cook, pushing down the sides and tilting the pan to let the eggs flow into the bottom of the pan.
  • Do this for about 3-5 min or until the bottom and sides are set - the center will still look wet.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Top the cheese with the sliced tomato and a few more sliced green onions if you desire.
  • Bake for 5-8 min, or until the center is set.
  • Let stand for 5 min and cut into wedges.

  1. Lovely, though yes, I did change it up. Dug out my cast iron skillet, once around with the olive oil and cranked the heat. I used 1 package of Pancetta, a quarter of a small onion, didn't have a tomato, so I used 1/3 can of drained diced tomatoes, tossed in a handful of frozen corn. Beat 6 eggs with salt, pepper and some dried chives for a bit of green since I used a sweet onion. Before putting pan in oven I used a couple handfuls of grated cheddar and some lovely grated Parmesan. I think Provolone would be scrumptious, and now will "plan" this meal and have some on hand.

My name is Robin, and welcome to my about me page. I will try to be as brief as possible, but I tend to be long winded. If you get bored at anytime, feel free to move on...I won't be offended. I was born in the great city of New Orleans, but have had the pleasure of travelling and living all over the place. My parents moved to Lafayette, Louisiana when I started high school. After high school, I was a nanny and lived in England (London). I miss it A LOT!! England, not the being a nanny part. I lived and got married in California (Los Angeles), but we moved back to Lafayette to be closer to family. Well, to make a long story short, things didn't work out and we got a D-I-V-O-R-C-E!!! After that, I packed up and moved to Texas (Beaumont). I met the love of my life (Toby) on-line - believe it or not - and he whisked me away to Kentucky (Louisville). Which is where I lay my head and call home now. I absolutely love it here!! I love having seasons!! The trees changing colors in Fall and snow in the Winter, along with a BEAUTIFUL Spring and HOT Summer!! We live in the house Toby grew up in, and are about to start doing some MUCH needed renovations! (I DEMAND A BIGGER KITCHEN!!) I have recently (this past year) started growing my own herbs. I threw in a few tomato plants for good measure :D. Now I have the bug!! I want more more MORE!! So Toby has so lovingly decided to make me an actual garden. This way I can grow all sorts of fun stuff!! I can't wait!! I love fresh home grown veggies and stuff!! And NOTHING beats fresh herbs!!! Toby has a son (Zach, 11) from a previous marriage. I guess that would make me the wicked stepmom.....I hope not!!! We also have in our lovely family 2 dogs (Daisy, a Cockapoo who runs the house and Missy, a Black Lab), a cat (Mystery), and a ferret (Flower). I am a stay at home stepmom (that is my job), so I have all day to cook and look up different recipes. I LOVE it!! I have figured out that I can cook twice as much if I give half of what I cook away....LOL!! This means Toby's business partner and his wife eat just as well as we do!! They have told me on many occasions, that if I can't take Toby anymore they will add on to their house to make room for me. All I have to do is cook!! LOL!! My parents are foodies and I TOTALLY blame them for my passion for food!! I will try anything once. I have found that I really do like some things I "thought" I hated. Although, I do still HATE (green)peas!! Here is my rating key for reviews: ***** = HEAVEN - I would not change a thing!! **** = Was VERY good, but would make a few changes *** = Not a bad recipe, but would make quite a few changes if I made it again ** = Would have to make a lot of changes to enjoy * = Didn't enjoy it at all, and will probably not make again.
