Basic Frittata for Two

This much easier than an omelet but is just potatoes and eggs and cheese really. You could add all sorts of things to it, I think, but here is a basic version to get you started.

2 Tbs olive oil

1 potato, peeled, quartered and thinly sliced

1 1/2 tsps fresh basil, chopped (or marjoram, tarragon, rosemary or oregano)

1 clove garlic, minced

3-4 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup grated cheese (I used Cheddar)

salt and pepper to taste

Heat the oil and saute the sliced potatoes and onions a few minutes, stirring now and then but not constantly. You want everything cooked through, about 8 minutes, and for the potatoes to be a bit browned.

Stir in the garlic and basil (or whatever herb youÃ¯Â¿Â½re using). Pour the eggs over the potatoes and onion, sprinkle the cheese on top and salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook over medium low heat until set, about 10 minutes.

Slice the frittata onto a plate, then hold the pan over the top of the plate while you flip the plate upside down, so that the frittata ends up bottom side up in the pan. Return to the burner and cook a few minutes. Alternately, rather than flip it over you can slide the pan under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes until the top is lightly browned.

Let it sit a few minutes at least. Then slice and serve.

This is good at room temperature, so good for entertaining or for lunches the next day.

Made these a number of times

Green Chile Squares
===================
April 12/02 Perfectentertaining.com
We love simple recipes, and this one certainly qualifies. With only three ingredients it whips up in under five minutes and then bakes unattended, making it perfect for parties. It can also be made up to 24 hours ahead of time and served hot, cold, or at room temperature.

2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 cans green chiles
4 well beaten eggs
.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle the cheese and chiles in the
bottom of a 9X13 baking dish. Pour the eggs over the top. Bake for
30-40 minutes or until golden brown and firm. Cool to room temperature
and then cut into squares.
