Good Evening,
How do you egg ? How do you omelette ? Would love to hear from you all in ref to the topic ... And do you prefer white or toast colored eggs and why ?
This question brings me to, two countries ... so, In Spain I like to prepare Stuffed Hard Boiled Eggs with Tuna packed in Olive Oil ... I also like a French Style Omelette with some chives ... simple and French style Baguette with a drizzle of olive oil ...
Both these two countries have a Fritatta culture ... Spain has the Spanish Potato and Onion Tortilla ( not Aztec Mexican corn flat bread ) and Italia, a Fritatta with spinach with red bell pepper, green bell, gold bell and cheese ...
Growing up, my Swiss French Mom used to prepare a stunner Quiche, so yes, Broccoli Quiche ...
Margi.
Thanks in advance ...
Growing up in an Italian neighborhood, I have always loved the Italian Frittata. What I love is that the eggs are the foundation and you can put anything in it. I usually put the regular Italian everyday foods. Sliced peppers, (red, green, orange, yellow) onions, garlic, thinly sliced potatoes, sliced sausage. Very little meat, lots of veggies. Even asparagus. Anything that is in season. Just a walk through the produce department will give you ideas.
My daughter is a really good Italian cook. But her son would rather have my Frittata than hers. She is not willing to put the effort into slicing all those veggies. Sometimes I think I enjoy the prep work more than the eating. Its a hands on the food thing.
And I love Quiche. Any green veggie in that will do for me. Along with onions.
