VEGETABLE FRITTATA WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, herbal seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper; whisk until well blended. Add 1/2 of the feta cheese, whisk and set aside.
• 2. In a small, oven-proof skillet over medium heat, spritz with cooking spray and add pancetta. Cook until it starts to crisp; then set aside onto paper toweling.
• 3. Add onion to skillet and sauté for a couple minutes until starting to soften. Add peppers and zucchini and cook for 3 - 5 minutes. Return pancetta then add garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Do not let garlic brown. Add potatoes and a few splashes of hot sauce, if desired. Stir everything together gently and cook until potatoes are heated through, about 2 minutes.
• 4. Lower heat and pour egg mixture into skillet. Stir everything together. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and sprinkle with additional paprika. (Check out NOTE below!!)
• 5. In a minute or two, when edges appear to become cooked, transfer skillet to oven. Bake until eggs fluff up and center is not completely set - about 8 minutes.
• 6. Broil for 1 - 2 minutes until cheese is melty. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes to firm up If you did not add hot sauce, have it available for individual use.
• 7. NOTE: If you are making this in a non-oven safe container, it will need to cook longer! I used a glass casserole recently and it needed about 20 minutes.
