Pizza Fritatta, Every Day with Rachael Ray July/August 2012
Hundredth post!!!
This was an interesting meal. Basically, this is a pizza but instead of a crust it has scrambled egg. I think this is probably great for the Atkin's diet or low-carb diet. It's like, how do we make a pizza even more fattening? Let's just replace the bread with eggs, cheese, and half-and-half! Except for me, it was cream, because that's what I had. So, yeah... this is not a Cooking Light recipe for sure. :-/ Last night's dinner was also low-carb. I made up for it by eating a lot of doughnuts today though, so don't worry-- I'm getting my full daily dose of sugars. I sort of wasn't sure about making a fritatta with a dozen eggs, because I know that I will eat this whole thing over the next few days, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. But, I thought that halving the recipe might allow it to burn, since I only have one size of oven-safe skillet. So full on it was!
I think I'll save this recipe, especially for when I'm not eating it all by myself! It was very tasty. The sauce was a bit overly winey, but that was the only problem, and that's probably just because I dislike wine more than the average person and therefore instead of having an open bottle of quality wine around, I just have some crappy cooking wine. I used soppressata, which I've never used before. It wasn't spicy though, so this might not have turned out as it was meant to, so I probably should've tossed in a bit of red pepper flakes. I think it's cool that this recipe actually suggests what could be used for vegetarians to get a similar flavor. AND they suggest the Fresno pepper, so of course I support that :D
I'm glad that I decided six months ago to embark on this cooking challenge of mine. At the end of the day, even if experiments don't work or whatever, I know I'll go home and create something that (usually!) will work out. We've had such great leftovers for lunch every day! The magazine shelf is getting to the point that I need a bookend, and that's a good feeling, to use the things I have. My recipe book is getting full and running out of space for main courses. I feel like I can write some random dinner selector script and have a variety of delicious dinners to eat for the rest of my life. And I'm only about halfway through! So, there will be another 100ish dinners, brunches, or desserts to experience. Cheers to that!
