This is a good basic frittata recipe.  I've made different versions of this depending on what I have on hand.  Frittatas are quick, easy, and tasty, which makes them a great go-to meal.  Also great with a simple tossed salad for a complete meal.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan
• 1/4 pound sliced pancetta, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 bundles arugula, trimmed and chopped, about 3 cups, loosely packed
• 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
• 12 extra-large eggs
• 1/3 cup half-and-half, eye ball it
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Heat a 12-inch nonstick ovensafe skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, pancetta, and garlic to the pan. When pancetta browns at edges and begins to crisp, add arugula. Wilt arugula, stir in tomatoes. Beat eggs together with half-and-half. Whisk in salt and pepper. Pour eggs over fillings and let eggs set. Using a spatula, raise eggs off the bottom of the skillet, allow more of the liquid egg to settle. When the frittata has set, transfer to oven and cook 10 to 12 minutes until top is deep golden brown. Remove the frittata and let it stand 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.
