Frittata with Poblano Peppers
I heart frittatas! To my extreme delight, this skillet (see below) became part of the household this Christmas. I've been using it once a week for the last few weeks! Aside from telling you how much I love the thing, its also a sign of how hairy my schedule has gotten. No more fussing over croquettes and patiently stirring kheer, its time to hurry up and make the frittata!
Most of the time, I fall back on some combination of mushroom, spinach and onion, but this latest wave of frittatas has featured poblano peppers. Charred over an open flame, they have that lovely smokey - spicy thing happening.
Heres what I did:
1. Sliced up a quarter of an onion and a handful of spinach. Charred a poblano pepper and chopped it into strips. Sauteed them all together in a spot of olive oil.
2. Whisked 3 eggs, some milk and a tablespoon of gouda together.
3. Poured the egg mixture into the skillet and cooked till set. Chucked it into the oven for the last 10 minutes.
4. Served with a chili-garlic sauce based on this cilantro-chili sauce. and homemade bread.
The verdict:
Its an interesting twist on the run-of-the mill frittata. The peppers and the chili-garlic sauce REALLY liven things up.

Enjoy the weekend, got a yummy bread at FH this week!
Can you believe all this snow in March? Bummer...
Suganya - I was worried about all the plastics in non-stick pans and hence the switch. To avoid 'sticky situations' (ha ha) I've been trying to make sure:
1. The skillet is warmed up before I start
2. I let things cook in their own juice for a bit. Just put a lid on it and let the moisture back in.
3. I do end up scrubbing this one more :-)
David,
Nothing beats coffee-flavored oatmeal though - Ha ha :-D
