This frittata is great with a green salad for dinner or at breakfast with fresh fruit...

1 large onion, coarsely chopped

1 cup sliced brown or white (or combination) mushrooms

1 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
8 large eggs

2 oz. prosciutto, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces

3/4 c. shredded Parmesan

1/8 t. freshly ground black pepper

Adjust broiler rack to within 4 inches of broiler element. Turn on broiler.
Heat oil in 12 in. oven safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Raise heat to med-hi and add mushrooms. Add bell pepper. Continue to cook until mushrooms are golden and peppers are soft, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Beat eggs with a whisk until foamy. Add prosciutto, parmesan and black pepper; mix well. Reduce heat to med. and pour egg mixture into the skillet. Be sure to distribute the veggies, meat and cheese throughout the skillet. Cook, without stirring, until just the surface is runny, about 7 min. Place the skillet under the broiler and cook until surface is set but not brown, about 2 min. Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the frittata to loosen. Slice into wedges.
