- 1/4 teaspoon Lunds & Byerlys dried oregano

A frittata is a baked omelet, far easier because it lacks that pesky step of flipping it. To make a really good frittata you should have a large (8 in) well-seasoned cast iron skillet, and be sure to not overcook it under the broiler. Slightly undercooked is better, really!
Directions
- Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to medium high.
- Whisk for 3 minutes eggs, herbs, salt, pepper and water in a medium bowl. Heat oil in a 8” cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add bell pepper, zucchini and asparagus and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to release flavors.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook, lifting the edges of the frittata to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath, until the bottom is light golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Dot the top of the frittata with the cheese, transfer the pan to the oven and broil until puffy and lightly golden on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and cut into 6 pieces.
Chef’s tip
Nourish Tip: Instead of serving with the typical side of toast, try serving with a green salad lightly dressed in olive oil and lemon juice.
