Chives & Peppers Frittata (3 Banana difficulty)

You say 'Fritt-AH-ta' I say 'Fritt-AY...'  Wait, no I say 'Fritt-AH-ta' too.  We're good.
I've been enjoying the Frittata scene recently.  You can really use your imagination to what you want to add to your Frittata.  It's a bit like choosing pizza toppings.  There's quite a bit of flexibility as long as you don't add too much! 

'This Monkey' has made a Frittata with Chives & Sauteed Peppers.  Here's how it is done:

WHAT YOU NEED:
(For an 11 inch cast iron skillet)

2-3 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Bell Peppers (seeded & chopped)
3 Garlic Cloves (diced)
1/2 c Chives (chopped)
12 Large Eggs
Salt to taste
1 T flour

Pepper to taste

WHAT YOU DO:
1.  Preheat your oven at 350 deg with rack in middle position.
2.  Heat 2 T of Oil in a separate skillet over medium high heat
3.  Add 1-2 T of the Oil to your CAST IRON skillet, brushing the oil along the bottom & sides.  Place in the pre heating oven.
3.  Saute your Peppers until soft about 6-8 min, then reduce heat to medium & Saute the Garlic for another 2 minutes.

4.  In a Medium Bowl, whisk the eggs together & season with salt.

5.  After the eggs are whisked, stir in the Peppers, Chives, & Flour

6.  Remove your Pre heated CAST IRON skilled from the oven (carefully) & add the Frittata Mixture.

7.  Return the CAST IRON skillet to the middle rack of the oven & Bake for 30-35 minutes. 

8.  Remove your Frittata from the oven.  The top will have slightly puffed and be darker in color.  Let it sit for 10 minutes.

9.  After it has rested for 10 minutes, you can invert a plate on top of the Frittata (in the skillet), then carefully turn the skillet upside down with the inverted plate still on top.  Your Frittata should nicely slide out of the CAST IRON skillet!

I like to serve mine with some shredded cheese, ground pepper, & sliced Avocado.  Lately I've replaced the salt & pepper with a splash of Balsamic Vinegar.  Frittatas taste great & aren't too difficult to make.  I think having a CAST IRON skillet helps with cooking. 

Here's some other's I've made recently:

(Carrot & Potato- adapted from a NY times recipe)

Well, you know the drill.  "Anymonkeycan" make a fantastic frittata, because this one just did!
