Middle Eastern Frittata

This is a simple and traditional yet hearty egg dish that you can enjoy for brunch, lunch or dinner. Potatoes and onions make a perfect marriage with eggs. If you've tried the Spanish version-the tortilla that is- you know what i'm talking about... D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients:

6 eggs
1 large potato, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup parsley, chopped
1 green chili pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
2 tbsps flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable/corn oil

Method:

Preheat oven to 375 F.

In an oiled pan, fry the potatoes for 10-15 min then set aside.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl and then mix in the potatoes and the rest of the ingredients. Pour in the egg mixture in a greased baking dish. Bake at 375 F for 20-30 min or until the surface turns golden brown.

Serve hot, warm or cold. I like my piece slightly warm and wrapped up in a pita bread sandwich (or olive bread) with a fresh salad on the side. Enjoy!

Nutrition Tip: For cholesterol evaders, you can substitute 2 whole eggs with egg whites instead. That will leave you with less saturated fats, more protein, without sacrificing flavor since all the other ingredients make up for that. ;-)
