Instructions
-
On a small baking sheet, cut the potatoes into thin vertical segments.
-
Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over potatoes and season with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper.
-
Next, add 1 tablespoon freshly-chopped basil into the mixture and toss together until each potato is coated in oil, seasoning and herbs.
-
Place into a 425 dinner F oven for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
-
Chop the red peppers into thin, long segments and slice your onion into thin, half-moon-shaped slices.
-
Remove the stem of the portobello mushroom — cut the mushroom into long, vertical, 1-inch slices— then cut those long slices into horizontal halves.
-
Remove your potatoes out of the oven and allow them to cool for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
-
In a large frying pan, heat 2 ½ tablespoon olive oil and a pat of salted butter.
-
While your potatoes cool, sauté onions, peppers, and mushrooms until cooked down and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Once the onions, peppers, and mushrooms are cooked down, add the roasted potatoes into the pan, with another teaspoon of olive oil.
-
Saute all vegetables together until the potatoes from a light gold crust on each side. Reduce heat and keep vegetables on low heat.
-
In a large bowl, beat your eggs with a whisk and gradually add in the half-and-half, salt, pepper, adobo and parmesan cheese.
-
Once well-beaten, pour the eggs into the frying pan and allow them to cover the entire circumference of the frying pan.
-
Next, place medium diced pieces of mozzarella throughout the frying pan, letting them slightly sink into the egg mixture, followed by adding in sprinkles of chopped basil.
-
Cook on a medium-low flame for 12 to 15 minutes.
-
Once the bottom of the frittata appears to have solidified, place the pan into the oven and broil the top of the frittata on low for approximately 8 to 10 minutes until the entire frittata becomes cohesive and the top becomes golden brown.
-
Let cool slightly, slice and serve.
-
Enjoy!
