Jewish World Review How to make a frittata like my Italian grandmother Susan Russo Oneforthetable.com JewishWorldReview.com | Frittata is nothing more than eggs with vegetables, cheeses or meats cooked into it. Yet my grandmother's frittatas were always something special -- delicious, healthy and comforting. Whether or not you have an Italian grandmother, there are many reasons why you should know how to make a frittata: They're ridiculously fast and easy to make. They're the perfect meal for the end of the week when you've run out of food. You could put just about anything in a frittata, (although I'd avoid chocolate chips). They're endlessly versatile. Make them with whole eggs, egg whites, or Egg Beaters; add meats or cheeses or vegetables; and eat 'em for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They make great leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. Try some in a sandwich. They're so much fun to say. Come on, you know you want to say it like Nan used to. So in your best Italian grandmother accent and say, "fri-taaa-taa" as if it's the greatest word in the world. I know for Nan, it was right up there with "pizzelle" or her favorite word, "bingo."

HUNDREDS of columnists and cartoonists regularly appear. Sign up for the daily update. It's free. Just click here. Here's how to make a great frittata in 5 easy steps: 1. Saute fillings before adding them to the eggs. This will impart more flavor and ensure that the fillings are thoroughly cooked. 2. Lightly whisk eggs with herbs and seasonings before adding to the pan. 3. Cook frittata in a heavy, flat-bottomed skillet over medium heat. 4. This one is important: Using a fork, gently push the egg mixture from side to side, allowing it to seep to the bottom of the pan. This will ensure that the eggs cook thoroughly. 5. Place the frittata under a broiler to create a puffy, golden brown topping. When I served it to my husband, I said in true Nan fashion: "Come on, have a nice piece of fri-taaa-taa with asparagus and mushroonz." For some reason, Nan could never pronounce the final "m" in mushrooms; it always came out as "mushroon," which would inevitably make me laugh, which would inevitably lead to Nan saying, "What? What's so funny?" ITALIAN ASPARAGUS, MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN FRITTATA MAKES: 2 servings 10 asparagus spears, cut into 1-inch slices 6 large eggs (Egg Beaters or whites only are fine) 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided) 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes A few dashes of salt 1-2 teaspoons olive oil 1 cup sliced white button mushrooms Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Boil the asparagus for 2 minutes; drain, then place in a bowl of ice water. Shocking it will maintain its vivid green color. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a small bowl with half of the cheese, the fresh parsley, and salt and red pepper. Add olive oil to an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes or until golden brown; add the asparagus and cook 1 more minute. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. With a fork, gently move the egg mixture from side to side, allowing the egg to seep to the bottom of the pan. Do this for 5-7 minutes, until the eggs start to solidify and a crust begins to form around the edges. Give the panhandle a jiggle, and when the eggs appear nearly set, evenly sprinkle the second half of the cheese over the top of the frittata. Remove the pan from the stove top and place under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, or until the top begins to puff up and turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn. Let cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve hot or at room temperature. (Susan Russo is a freelance food writer in San Diego, California.
