12 eggs
1/4 cup of 5% cream (you can use milk here if desired)
1 heaping tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground peppe
2-3 green onions finely sliced
4 0z. fresh goat cheese cut into small bits
6 -8 heaping tsp. of good quality purchased basil pesto
1 small tomato, thinly sliced
2-3 tbsp. freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 -2 tbsp. fresh basil, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl whisk together well eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper. Gently stir in green onions and goat cheese bits. Pour into a greased 10 inch pie plate, dollop the basil pesto in a circle into the egg mixture in the pie plate, evenly spacing the dollops so the basil pesto can flavour the frittata as it bakes. Bake at 350° oven for about 30-35 minutes or until puffed and knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven, and turn on your broiler. Arrange tomato slices in a circle on top of hot frittata and sprinkle with generous freshly grated parmesan. Broil for about 4 minutes until golden and Parmesan has melted. Watch closely. Remove and sprinkle the fritatta with fresh chopped basil, slice and serve. Makes 8 generous slices.
