A really nice little fritatta recipe

Very nice recipe and I am sure that the artichoke hearts give it that bit of extra flavour. I love artichoke hearts and I use them a lot in my cooking. Mixed with green vegetables such as silver beet, spinach and chard and using your recipe it makes a delicious dish for a light lunch or branch. Just add an "Insalata Caprese" on the side and it is just great.Fritatta is also an excellent way of using any leftovers and the eggs give it that extra protein.

It is also possible to bake a frittata. Just add whichever ingredients you have at hand (preferably some tasty leftovers) to 4 well beaten eggs and 1/2 cup of both grated parma or provolone and milk. Preheat the oven to 180-200 ºC (more or less 350 to 400 F, but , as you know all ovens are different..... Grease a shallow baking dish and pour the mixture. Bake it 35-55 minutes depending on the mixture you are using. Test the centre to see when it is done as if you were baking a cake.A great way to "recycle" pasta leftovers, particularly if the ragú you have used is a tasty one.

I have another quick little sandwich that I like to make for myself from time to time.  Its delicious and like many of the dishes that I make,   it has numerous variations and the combinations are endless.    Here is the sandwich:sliced olive oil and rosemary bread ( you can purchase at any grocery in the artisan section-but you can use whatever type of bread you like..a nice crusty Italian bread can also be used and it is delcious.1 eggbread crumbs for dusting (I use progresso seasoned Italian, but they are easy to make if you do not wish to buy them)   All purpose flower for dustingprovolone cheeseolive oilrosemary sprigssun dried tomatoesYou can also add a bit of basil pesto which also tastes great on this sandwich.   I first dredge the bread slices in the flower, then the egg and then the bread crumbs, add the bread slices to a pan with olive oil and rosemary..assemble my sandwiches..cheese sun dried tomatoes...and cook them in the olive oil until they are golden.   The breadcrumb flower mixture gives the sandwhich a nice texture and it looks really gorgeous when you are finished.  You can serve the sandwich with a soup or salad.  I have also added Italian ham for non vegetarian friends and it worked nicely. Buon Pranzo!  I hope that you make this sandwich and enjoy it.  Its easy, effortless, inexpensive, and delicious!     

As you rightly said, these uncomplicated little dishes make our lives easier and tastier. Also, it is always great to experiment in the kitchen and come up with interesting combinations.
