Mediterranean Frittata

I love this frittata! It is so much easier to make than an omelette and so much tastier too! To make it even cheaper use canned mushrooms and regular tomato instead of sun dried (skip the the soaking part).

Ingredients:
6 sun dried tomatoes either dry or oil packed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small onion finely chopped
1 clove garlic finely chopped
1/4 cup rough chopped mushrooms
6 eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1.Soak the sun dried tomatoes in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes. Keep the water and cut the tomatoes into thin strips

2.Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan and stir in the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5-6 minutes (until onions are a golden brown).

3.Add the mushrooms and tomatoes then season with salt and pepper and cook another 2-3 minutes

4.Break eggs into a bowl and stir in 3-4 Tbs of tomato water and mix light with a fork. Add cheese and stir until cheese is mixed in completely.

5.Raise the heat and pour the eggs into the sizzling oil. Mix the eggs quickly with the other ingredients then stop stirring and lower the heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is fluffy and golden brown on the bottom.

6.Place a large plate over the top of the pan and with oven mitts firmly flip the frittata onto the plate then slide it back into the pan and cook another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and enjoy!
