Italian Frittata, Mexican Frittata

Italian Frittata
So I'm super stoked to post this one today. I've been wanting to make a quiche or a frittata, since I never have, and I figured I could incorporate our Secret Ingredient CILANTRO into it. SUCCESS!
   I decided on a frittata, since I was feeling too lazy to make a crust for a quiche. So I did a quick search for a frittata recipe to know how many eggs I should do, and at what temperature to bake it.

   A frittata, typically, is an Italian omelet with veggies and meat, and it's cooked until the bottom is set and then inverted into another pan to cook the top. But the lazy version, throwing it in the oven on "broil", is more my style. Plus, I don't have to clean another pan!
   For those of you who aren't keen on the Italian ingredients, I also did a Mexican version! For your information, the Frittata itself, in both recipes, is the same. Only the toppings are different. And the tastes are so unique!

JENNY'S ITALIAN  & MEXICAN FRITTATAS

Frittata
6 eggs
3 slices bacon, cooked and diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced1 large clove garlic, diced1 tbsp butter
big handful cilantro, diced
salt, freshly ground pepper to taste

While cooking the bacon, you can throw in the red pepper to cook in the bacon fat. If you don't want that, just do the veggies in another pan. After bacon is ready, drain and dice and set aside. Add onions and garlic to red pepper. When sauteed, add butter and allow to melt evenly over pan. Add eggs evenly. Spinkle bacon and cilantro over the top, then cover and allow to cook a couple minutes over medium heat, then transfer to oven on "broil" setting and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned and fluffy. Remove from pan and cut into 6 servings. Serve immediately.

Italian Topping
2 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp plain yogurt
1-2 tsp mustard (yes, mustard. This is yummy! Trust me!)
3-4 leaves basil, diced
salt

Mix everything well and top frittata with fresh, shredded mozzarella cheese.

Mexican Topping
2 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp plain yogurt
about 3 tbsp chorizo
1/2 tsp dried oregano
A couple dashes of chili powder

Warm chorizo in a pan over medium heat. Mix with other ingredients and top frittata with crumbled queso fresco.
