Artichoke Feta Frittata

Before i talk about frittata, i would like to let you friends know about my newly created Facebook page. Please visit and kindly support me by 'liking' my page AahaOho on Facebook. I would highly appreciate that. Thank you.

Frittata is prepared using eggs similar to an omelette or quiche. It is enriched with a variety of ingredients, such as vegetables, cheese, herbs or meat. It is a filling dish that can be eaten for breakfast or brunch. Leftover frittata can be refrigerated and will be perfect for your lunchbox the next day. It is very simple and easy to make that i just mixed all the ingredients and baked in the oven. Unlike an omelette, which is served whole, a frittata is divided and served in slices. Not bad for a weekday brunch huh? And here goes the recipe,

Ingredients:

2 Eggs + 1 Egg white

1/2 cup Artichoke hearts (frozen and thawed)

1/2 cup Feta Cheese

1 medium Garlic pod (minced)

1/2 cup Red onion (finely chopped)

1 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)

Crushed Black pepper

Salt

Oil Spray

How to:

Grease a baking pan with the oil spray. Keep aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Beat the eggs well along with the egg white in a big bowl.

Now add the cheese, garlic and cilantro, give a quick stir.

Add the artichokes, red onions, followed by salt and pepper.

Mix well and pour it into the greased pan. 

Bake for 20-25 mins or until the eggs are set and the edges pulls away from the sides. (you can leave it in the oven for another few mins for a crispy edge and golden brown top.)

Slice it up and serve warm with cut fruits.

And we emptied the frittata pan.

Sweet French Crepes

Crepe is a very thin pancake made from flour, and poured onto a hot frying pan and served with a variety of fillings. It is widely consumed in France. There are crepes served with savory fillings like cheese, eggs and meat for lunch or dinner. When sweet, they can be a dessert or even perfect for breakfast. It can be spread and topped with sliced fruits or whipped cream. 
Eliminating the sugar, vanilla and kahlua, you have a crepe ready to fill anything savory for your lunch/brunch. Go French! Here goes the recipe,
Ingredients:

1/2 cup All purpose flour (Maida)

1 Egg

1/4 cup +2tbsp Milk

1/4 cup Water

1 1/2 tbsp Oil/Butter

1/2tsp Vanilla extract

1tbsp + 3/4tsp Sugar

1tbsp Kahlua

Sliced Strawberry /any fruit

Powdered sugar, for dusting

 How to:

• In a big bowl, mix together the flour and sugar and keep it aside.

• In another small bowl, mix the remaining ingredients and beat well.

• Now pour the beaten mixture and blend'em with the flour mixture.

• Place the batter in the fridge for an hour as it reduces the bubble formation.
• Heat a non-stick skillet, grease it with oil/butter and pour a small ladle-full of batter and gently swirl to spread evenly.

• Cook for a few seconds, gently flip it and cook the other side. (I cooked for a few extra seconds to get the golden brown color.)

• Remove, let cool and serve warm with fresh cut fruits and lightly dusted with powdered sugar.
