THREE PEPPER FRITTATA

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1/2 each red and yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1/8 tsp green pepper sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a 12 inch nonstick frypan over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onions; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, water, salt, pepper and green pepper sauce until blended. Pour egg mixture over peppers and onions. Reduce heat to low and cook, lifting edges of frittata occasionally with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg mixture to run underneath. Cook until frittata is just barely set in centre. Remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese.
  3. Cover and let stand for 2 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
