A fontina frittata is a delicious cross between an omelette and a quiche with some unique advantages over both. Although you can cut a single frittata into wedges to feed a family, it cooks much more quickly than a quiche, and doesn’t require a fat laden. And unlike an omelette, it requires no turning or folding just a stress free trip under the broiler to firm and brown its top.

Method
-
Preheat the broiler.
-
Whisk the eggs, egg whites, and milk together in a large bowl until blended. Stir in the cheese and thyme. Set aside.
-
Spray a 10- inch ovenproof nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to soften and brown, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
-
Return the skillet to the heat. Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 minutes. Return the potatoes to the skillet. Add the egg mixture; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until the bottom of the frittata is firm, 8-10 minutes.

Please the skillet under the broiler and broil 5 inches from the heat until the frittata is set in the center, 5 minutes. Cut into 4 wedges and serve at once.
