Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs Coarse salt and ground pepper 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 bell peppers (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced 1 cup shredded white cheddar (4 ounces) 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar 1 head Boston lettuce (about 10 ounces), torn into pieces 1/2 cup store-bought salsa, for serving

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add bell peppers and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.

Add eggs, and cook, quickly stirring with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs thicken, about 1 minute. Sprinkle cheese evenly over egg mixture. Cover skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook frittata for 15 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl; season dressing with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, and toss to combine.

Slide frittata onto a work surface; cut into wedges. Top frittata with salsa, and serve with salad.

Cook’s Notes A bit of patience is key for a perfect frittata: Stir the egg mixture in the skillet until its thickened, then cover and leave it alone to cook. Don’t lift the lid to peek!

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/08/2010   Mayers, I think the white cheddar was the problem. It's too mild. If you can find it in your market, use a good Mexican cheese like Manchego. If you can't find that, use pecorino romano. Here's a link to Mexican cheese you can use, if you can find them: http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/Articles/Mexican-Cheeses-966/mexican-cheeses.aspx. As for the leftovers, I would have sliced them up very finely and added them to a salad with bacon or leftover ham, with some good cured olives....  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/02/2009   This was so blah! I even added a ton of fresh herbs and it still had no flavor, was unattractive at best. Both my husband and I hated itw - what to do with the leftovers?? Maybe fried rice.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/21/2009   Very simple, very fast and very good. And any leftovers reheat in the microwave very nicely.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/15/2009   Has anyone actually tried this recipe? I would like to hear about the results if you have.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/15/2009   It is impossible to use a recipe with an advertisement over the directions!!!!!

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/14/2009   disable the pop ups or close the ads. either way I did not have that problem  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/14/2009   This is the 2nd recipe with the pop up in the way!!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/14/2009   Can't read the recipe because of the sales pitches that overlap it! Help! I love fritattas and would like to make this one.
