For the Frittata:
2 tablespoons COLAVITA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup each diced green pepper, red pepper, zucchini and red onion
6 mushrooms, stems and caps, sliced
1 cup diced ham
6 large eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:


1. In a 12 inch non-stick skillet heat the olive oil; add all ingredients except the seasonings, eggs, and cheese. Saute until vegetables are soft and transparent but not browned. 2. While vegetables and meat are sauteing, beat eggs until thick and foamy. Add cheeses and salt and pepper, stir to combine. Gently pour into the sauteed mixture. 3. Let the egg mixture set up. Do NOT stir. When eggs are set and begin to bubble, place under broiler until top is browned. Serve immediately with some of the aioli spooned over the top. Serves 6

Prepare the Aioli:

1. In a blender or food processor beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon color. 2. Add the seasonings and half the vinegar; process to combine but do not over beat. 3. Add the olive oil drop by drop at first, and then in a gradually increasing stream as the mixture thickens. Take care not to over beat. 4. Add the remaining vinegar and process briefly. 5. Add chopped black olives, chopped green olives, gherkins or sweet pickles and parsley. Process only long enough to combine and finish off by adding capers. Adjust seasonings.
