Frittata Recipe for Father’s Day

Today is the day we honor fathers: the men in our lives who have loved us, given themselves, and shared their lives with us. So, in whatever way you honor those in your life, here’s a frittata recipe for Father’s Day.

Since both utilize eggs, frittatas are similar to quiche. However frittatas are made without a crust. And they are Italian, whereas quiche is French.

Originally I got this recipe from Great American Favorite Brand Name Cookbook, publication 1993. But I changed a few things.

Ingredients for Frittata for Father’s Day:

• 2 cups broccoli florets

• 1 cup each, sliced mushrooms and sliced bell pepper

• 4 green onions, sliced

• 2 tbsp butter

• 16 eggs

• 1/2 cup dijon mustard

• 1/2 c heavy whipping cream

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• 2 cups Parmesan cheese

Instructions for Frittata:

• First, in a 4.5 quart ovenproof pan, cook vegetables in butter over medium heat for ~ 5 minutes. Then remove from heat.
• Next, in a medium to large bowl, beat the next 4 ingredients with an electric mixer at medium speed until foamy; stir in cheese. Then pour over vegetables in the pan.
• And bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until set.
• Finally, serve immediately.
