Here at the Santa Nella House Bed and Breakfast, we use the fresh herbs and tomatoes from our garden and other local produce to create a luscious recipe for one of our gourmet breakfasts.  Along with home baked muffins, breads or coffee cakes, seasoned potatoes and homemade sausage, our meals will send you off for a day to enjoy our many sights and activities here in the Russian River area.   Please view our website for more information and a list of our specials, www.santanellahouse.com. Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 1 medium onion, sliced  
  • 4 artichoke hearts, cut into quarters
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, part cheddar, part Parmesan
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup mint or basil, chopped
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
Start oven broiler.                  

In a 10-inch ovenproof sauté pan, warm olive oil. Add zucchini, onions, artichokes and mushrooms.  Sauté until onions are translucent; season with salt and pepper.  In a mixing bowl, beat eggs.  Add cheese and chopped mint; mix well and pour over sautéed vegetables. Cook over medium heat until eggs start to set.  Decorate with cut tomatoes and place pan under broiler for 5 minutes or until the eggs are completely set and top is browned.  Cool at room temperate for 10 minutes before cutting.

Serves: 4 to 8
