- Well, aren't I lucky; I found two handsome guys
skiing up to my cabin this afternoon
when I was coming home from getting ingredients.
These are my nephews.
This is Ashton and Kaden.
And they're gonna be in the ski race today,
so I thought they would like to maybe come in the kitchen
and help me make lunch for later on.
What do you guys say? - Both: Yep.
- Inga: Yeah, okay, let's get cooking.
Today, we're gonna make an Italian frittata.
A frittata is similar to an omelet.
It's just less stuffy, you know?
You can be a little bit freer with it and have fun with it.
So it's basically an egg dish, and what's great about it
is you can use anything that you have in the fridge.
It's great for leftovers.
You can throw potatoes in there,
you can throw onions in there, you can throw spinach in.
Should we put spinach in? - Both: Mm-hmm.
- I didn't get spinach; I got microgreens
'cause I know you guys like microgreens.
But anything you have left over.
And in Italy, a lot of times when you're preparing dinner,
you save a little bit of that dinner
to have the next day with a frittata,
so you can think ahead
and it's always something so easy to make.
So I'm gonna teach these boys how to make it.
First of all, Ashton, I need you to crack me some eggs
right into here.
There you go.
That's one; let's try to do maybe eight.
And Kaden, while he's doing that,
why don't you start grating some cheese.
And we just have a nice cheddar cheese here.
It's so good to get kids in the kitchen,
in the garden, on the farm.
These guys grew up with me milking cows,
planting seeds in the garden, and cooking with me,
and it's just, it's something I'd love to pass on to them
and I think it's a good life skill to be able to pass down.
So what I have here too is some sautéed-up red onion
and then some of these beautiful potatoes.
And I'm just gonna slice these up nice and small
because we're gonna put 'em in these
adorable little cast iron skillets.
Do you guys think this is gonna be a good lunch?
- Mm-hmm. - Good.
We'll start giving these a spin.
Can you just whisk those up?
Look at those beautiful yolks.
That's how you know you have happy chickens,
is the beautiful yolks.
You can keep spinning those.
I keep thinking I wanna teach them knife skills,
but we're so far away from an emergency room
that I think I'm gonna wait 'til we're back in town.
I'm not the best with my knife skills myself.
All righty, Ashton, you're looking good.
I'm gonna pour in a half a cup of cream,
because what's me cooking without a lot of cream?
Now go ahead and stir that up.
So I'm putting all of this in this beautiful measuring cup,
'cause I'm gonna pour these into my little adorable containers.
Ashton, I'm gonna put some red onion in.
You know, I think this is the last year
I'm gonna be able to cook with you.
I think you're gonna be too tall.
Now, why don't you put that in the center for me
'cause we're done there.
Kaden, you throw in all that cheese.
People ask me if I always cook healthy.
I like to think I cook healthy-ish.
Stir that in there.
And then add these potatoes.
And guess what I have for you guys?
- What?
- On the side here, after we get done baking these,
we're gonna top them with microgreens.
Give that a stir for me, Ashton.
Now, look at how adorable these little cast iron skillets are.
Oh, my gosh.
So I like to cook with fun little containers
because who doesn't?
They're just so adorable, just like you kids.
And I thought that the kids would enjoy it more
if it was personalized for them.
So let's fill up these cute little containers.
I know I'm kind of in love with these a little bit too much,
but they're so cute.
All right, a little bit at a time.
Oops.
Aren't these gonna be good, guys?
I was thinking, we're gonna meet some other friends there,
so we can share our frittatas.
Now, you guys have this famous recipe.
You can go home and make dinner for your mom and dad sometime
and make 'em a frittata.
How does that sound? - Good.
- Or you can come to my house and make one for me.
Does that sound good?
They're so excited about it.
So now I'm just gonna throw these in the oven
at 375 for 20, 25 minutes until they become fluffy
and have a beautiful brown topping to them.
And then I'm going to garnish them
with some fabulous microgreens
and a little bit of smoked paprika.
