| My 1st attempt at Savory Palmiers |
These are worth getting right, because they will make an amazing Holiday appetizer. Please give them ago!
This morning I fixed a sauteed vegetable frittata inspired by Ina Garten's Roasted Vegetable Frittata. Here is my quicker, lighter version.
1 zucchini, small dice
1/2 red onion, small dice
1 orange pepper, small dice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt, pepper & red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon butter
6 eggs
1/2 cup 1/2 & 1/2, I used fat free
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated Gouda
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Saute onion, pepper & zucchini in olive oil for about 10 minutes over medium high heat. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Add minced garlic and saute for another minute or two. Add butter and remove from heat, mix in melted butter. Whisk 6 eggs & 1/2 & 1/2 with touch of salt and pepper, stir in Parmesan cheese. Add sauteed mix to the bottom of a pie plate that is coated with cooking spray, pour egg mixture over evenly. Bake in oven for 25 to 35 minutes, until frittata is set (just move it gently in the oven, when it doesn't jiggle it is ready), remove and top with grated Gouda. Put back in the oven for about 2 -3 minutes - just so cheese melts. Remove from oven, slice as a pie and serve.
I am spending the rest of the day with my kindle reading Cleo Coyle's latest - Holiday Grind. Her coffee house mystery series is wonderful - check them out.

I LOVE your new cookware! We really like frittatas around here also! I know the boys will like this one!
Hope the boys enjoy! We try to do Meatless Mondays around here & this would be a wonderful week night supper. Had to share the cookware, I just had to. Jonathan said I was like a child on Christmas morning opening the boxes!
Lara - Thank you so much for your very kind mention of Holiday Grind! You're a sweetie. I re-tweeted you, of course. :-) Here's a tip on the palmiers. If you make them again, be sure the puff pastry dough is nice and cold. After you fill it and roll it, be sure to refrigerate the uncut log for at least 20 to 30 minutes. When you cut it, use a very sharp knife; and if the log warms near the end, stop and chill the log again. It takes time, but the trick to working with any pastry dough (and getting the palmiers to hold their heart-shape) is...chill it, baby. :) Thanks again for the Coffeehouse shout-out, Lara. Have a great holiday.

Oh Cleo - you have made my day, actually week. I am going to try these again Friday night & use all of your tips. You are so kind!
Congrats on the new cookware! I used to watch the Cosby show but never noticed them. I have a couple of red Le Crueset dutch oven as well and love them!
