Servings: persons

12 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon good-quality chile powder
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves only, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 roasted red peppers (pimiento), sliced into strips
2 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 1/2 cups grated Mexican Manchego or Jack cheese
Sprigs of cilantro, for garnish

1
In a large bowl, combine the eggs with the salt, pepper, chile powder, and cilantro.
2
Whisk with a fork until evenly blended and set aside.
3
In a 10-inch non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4
Add the onion and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden.
5
Add the red pepper and the poblano and cook for 2 minutes more.
6
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and swirl the bottom of the pan with a fork to mix the vegetables with the eggs.
7
Reduce the heat to medium-low, scatter the cheese over the top and cook the frittata slowly, covered, until the eggs are set almost all the way through.
8
Shake the pan back and fourth on the burner occasionally to be sure the frittata is not sticking.
9
Place the pan under a broiler on medium for a minute or two just to set the top of the frittata completely.
10
Remove from the heat and let the frittata set in the pan for 10 minutes.
11
Place a round platter on the top of the pan and invert the frittata onto it.
12
Garnish with sprigs of cilantro and serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.
