Herb, Feta, And Quinoa-Filled Frittata
- 4 eggs or 3 whole eggs and 2 whites
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- Small pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons butter, melted
- Olive oil for the pan
- 1 medium shallot, thickly sliced lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, like marjoram and thyme, or oregano and basil, or rosemary and sage, etc.
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped or torn Italian parsley leaves
- 1 to 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, to taste (or any other similar cheese)
- 1 tablespoon finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, or Asiago
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Crumble bread crumbs into a small bowl and drizzle the melted butter over them with a tiny pinch of salt and some freshly ground pepper. Toss gently to coat. (If your bread crumbs are a bit moist, toast them first briefly in a skillet over medium heat.)
- Turn on broiler.
- Beat the eggs with the quinoa. Add the nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- On the stove, drizzle a teaspoon or two of oil into a medium-sized oven-proof skillet, and saute the shallots over medium heat to soften, about one minute.
- Still using medium heat, pour the eggs and quinoa into the skillet. Sprinkle on the herbs. Use a spatula to lift the edges, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow into the exposed areas under the lifted edges. As soon as the eggs begin to set on the stove, remove the pan from the heat.
- Sprinkle the cheeses on top. Put under the broiler for 30 seconds, remove, sprinkle on the buttered crumbs, and put back under the broiler for another 30 seconds, or until the crumbs and cheese are nicely browned.
- Enjoy!! ;o) This also tastes great at room temperature.
