4 Slices Proscuitto - fried up and set aside

1 shallot - cubed into very small pieces
Butter - 2+ Tablespoons

Olive Oil - 2 Tablespoons

Add the shallot to the pan and toss.
Add salt and pepper and toss.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whip - set aside.
Toss the veggies until they are golden brown; now add 1 tab butter.
Add the whipped egg and tilt the pan so most of the liquid cooks. Keep running the spatula along the edge of the frittata to keep it loose. When almost all the liquid is cooked, toss the frittata over to cook and gently brown....not so easy, so try scoring the frittata into quarters and then turn each piece over...or, if making 1/2 the recipe and using a smaller pan, use a dinner plate as follows: place the plate over the egg mixture and hold it, then turn the frypan over the plate, put the frypan back on the burner and now slide the frittata back into the pan and finish cooking! We enjoy cooking up prosciutto and serving up as "bacon"....French or Italian bread finishes off the meal. This makes a great meal anytime of day. Enjoy!
