Today's dish was not a side dish, but rather a main dish. Even so, just in case it was a flop, I made some chili, which was a flop in itself because I forgot how to make my special chili AND the ground beef I purchased was bad :(. That stinks.
Now, I am keeping my word that I will put onions in the dishes I make out of this cookbook IF they call for them. This includes all forms of onions, even the green variety. :D I did as I was told and chopped these bad boys up for the Frittata.
What is a Frittata anyway?
According to Wikipedia, it's a dish that is started in a pan and then finished under a broiler. (See link for other ways a Frittata is made). It's kinda the opposite of an omelet.
The Chef and Sous Chef:
I let the Chef and Sous Chef help me this time, in a way. They got curious about the green onions and the asparagus, so I let them chop up the parts of the vegetables I was not going to use. Way to reuse, eh?
Sous Chef Squeaker also made his contribution to the floor. I "look forward" to cleaning that up later... yeah. At least they had fun exploring the vegetables. That did not help them dive into the meal later, but I knew they enjoyed the quality time with me as I chopped asparagus.
The Final Product:
Nothing says more fun than using my cast iron skillet! I love my cast iron skillet! One day I want to get a cast iron Dutch oven. Why? Because you can take the cast iron dish from the stove straight to the oven!
Anyways... I am not a fan of quiches, I quite dislike them. But although it was similar, it was pretty good. The egg was not too eggie, and I could not taste the green onions (YES!).
Mmmm! That looks yummy! I'm not a huge fan of onions either, but I always like green onions. They have all the flavor without the texture, I guess :).
