Fritata

This turned out well. It takes about an hour to make, the it's worth it.

Put half a tbsp of butter and half a tbsp of oil into a pie plate.

Put the pie plate into an oven and heat to 400F. The idea is to heat the pie plate and oil up so that when the egg mixture hits it, a quick and thin crust will form to prevent sticking.

Break five eggs into a measuring cup. Add milk to bring the measure up to two cups. Wisk to combine.

Find a cup of filling-- I used left over vegitables-- and chop the filling into small pieces.

When the pie plate has heated up and the oil is popping, pull the plate out of the oven, swirl the oil and butter around to coat. Now, quickly pour the egg & milk into the pie plate. Don't mix or scrape the bottom.

Sprinkle the filling all over the eggs.

Cover with half a cup of grated cheese.

Bake at 400F for 40 minutes.
