Tomato Frittata

Step 2 Prepare frittata ingredients

Assemble the following ingredients:

stainless omelet pan
canola oil (regular or spray)

roasted tomatoes
basil
chopped garlic (fresh or roasted with the tomatoes)
optional: red onion, thinly sliced
egg whites (in a carton or freshly separated)

optional toppings: parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper

Set the empty pan on the stove, turned on as low as it goes, and leave it alone for a minute while you chop your tomatoes, basil, and garlic. A couple of whacks will do; this isn't the French Laundry or anything nearly so fancy or complicated. Think fresh, rustic food, and give the bits a few machete-like whacks with your big chef's knife. If you fear for your fingers in your sleep-deprived state, prep your ingredients the night before or earlier in the week and stay away from the knives until you've had your shower/coffee/etc.
