Very useful Eggs, A Christmas Brunch Recipe December 15 2017

Eggs are a very useful product in my kitchen… my family will eat them hard boiled, fried and scrambled.  This recipe for a brunch frittata is a great way to use up leftover pasta and any vegetables you have hanging around in your refrigerator. It is easy enough to make in the morning but can also be made the night before and warmed or served at room temperature.  The perfect breakfast for Christmas morning after opening all of your presents.

Happy Friday,

Brunch Frittata with Semolina Artisanal Pasta

Makes 6  servings 

Ingredients:

8 oz  piece of Semolina Artisanal Pasta Strozzapreti

8 oz fresh spinach

3 Tablespoons olive oil

8 large eggs

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

 Method:

-Cook Semolina Artisanal Pasta Strozzapreti  according to package directions.

-Preheat oven to 350°F. Crack eggs into a large bowl and beat together. Season with salt and pepper.

-In a 10 inch non-stick pan, warm olive oil.  Quickly sauté spinach in pan, add the cooked pasta and mix together.  When the pan is hot again add the beaten eggs.  Let cook slowly over medium heat for 4-5 minutes.  Avoid stirring the egg as you want a crust to form on the bottom of the pan.  Add the cheese to the top of the mixture and place in pre-heated oven.

-Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through and the cheese is melted.

-Let rest in pan for 5 minutes. To remove place a large plate on top of the pan and flip over.  Cut into wedges to serve.
