My ride ....
Last year, my summer vacation took place in Newfoundland, Canada. I have always wanted to visit this province, it is far but so worth it. It did not disappoint, well one thing did but that's for later.
My focus last summer was on the western side of Newfoundland.
I took the overnight ferry from Sydney, Nova Scotia to Port aux Basque, NF. My ride!Life has been somewhat quiet. With my mom gone, there's such a void in my life. I miss her dearly.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying a small break before the hectic sets in again. I've started a new knitting project, a shawl. I wanted to challenge myself and a challenge it is. The shawl is worked bottom up. The pattern is called Skovbund by Fiber Tales
I've never been much of a frittata kind of gal. Never made it myself until now. To me, it just tasted like an omelet, bland and yuck! So it was never a dish I would make .... That is .... until I came upon a recipe from Mary Jane Butter's magazine MaryJanesFarm. That's when I fell in love with frittatas and have not looked back.
I have since adapted the recipe to what ever is in my fridge. Today I made a Broccoli Frittata and it's delicious! It taste even better the next day! Just warm it in the oven ... Voila! ... you have lunch!
BROCCOLI FRITTATA
8 eggs
1/4 cup of milk (whole fat milk or cream)
1/2 cup of grated Sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp of kosher salt (to taste)
1/8 tsp of pepper (to taste)
2 Tbsp of unsalted butter
1 small minced onion
1 minced shallot (optional)
1 minced garlic clove
1 head of cooked broccoli (pre-cooked/can use frozen or fresh)
Preheat oven at 400F
Combine eggs, milk & mix until smooth. Stir in the cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Melt butter in a 9inch cast iron pan (or pan of your choice); add the onions and shallots. Cook until translucent; add the garlic and cook stirring frequently. (approximately 5 minutes). Add the broccoli.
Brush side of pan with butter (prevent eggs from sticking), pour the egg mixture. Distribute evenly.
Pop it in the over 400F for 20 minutes (or longer depending on your oven)
Let it cool for 5 - 10 minutes.
ENJOY!
Thanks for stopping by my little corning in cyberspace! Cheers!
