TL;DR: frittata #help needed!
My niece is getting married next weekend and I have just learned I have been assigned the tast of making frittatas for pre-wedding #brunch. I'm a capable home cook, but my partner generally handles all breakfasty-things, so I'm not exactly in my comfort zone here.
Please send me your best frittata #recipes and tips, esp. re #cooking for a crowd! Assume I'm an idiot.
Thank you!!!
@wordshaper Thanks! So I mix the pre-cooked tasty bits in with the raw eggs ahead of time? Or do you mean prep just the tasty bits ahead of time?
@DrTCombs The pre-cooked stuff will last a couple of days so for a wednesday breakfast you can be frying up peppers and mushrooms and such on monday afternoon. Mise en place and prep work makes these kinds of things *so* much easier.
@wordshaper So basically prep like I'm going car camping. This I can do.
@DrTCombs Prep the tasty bits ahead of time. Then when you make a frittata you ladle in the egg mix, scoop in some filling, and then cook.
If you cook the filling bits separately (one bin of onion, one of red pepper, one of cubed ham, one of green pepper, one of mushrooms, one of cheese...) you can even semi-easily do made-to-order (or at least made-to-respect-food-issues) fritattas.
Normally I'd say cook things together but in this circumstance separate is easier.
