INGREDIENTS:4 eggs
2 tablespoons all dairy heavy cream
freshly ground black pepper to taste
dash cayenne pepper
4 strips crumbled bacon, or some soy bacon bits if desired Not necessary.
FILLING:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (We use salted. Sue us. It is delicious.)
2 cups sliced brown or white mushrooms
1/2 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon thyme
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (see above)
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat broiler
In a medium bowl, using fork, whisk eggs, cream, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Set aside
In a 10 inch flame proof skillet (Really? they make skillets that aren't flame proof?!?) melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium/high heat. When butter is hot and bubbly, add mushrooms and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add artichokes, rosemary, thyme, bacon and cook until heated through. Drain excess liquid and set aside.
In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat until hot and bubbly again. Add egg mixture. As eggs cook, lift edges to let uncooked egg to seep underneath. When bottom is set, but top is still moist, pour filling over eggs. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and place under broiler. Broil 1 to 2 minutes, checking frequently, until top is golden and puffed up.
MAKES: A mighty fine meal
