Lavender Artichoke Frittata

2 (8 oz.) packages frozen artichoke
   hearts, thawed, coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small red onions, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced

8 large eggs
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons
Little Sky ground lavender

Pre-heat oven to 325° F. Use non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper, a 9x13 baking dish.

Sauté artichoke hearts in olive oil for about 5 minutes, in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and mushrooms, cook until onions are soft.

In a large bowl, beat eggs with a fork. Stir in bread crumbs, salt, pepper and lavender. Stir in the cheese and artichoke mixture. Pour into the baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, or until top is firm to the touch.

Cut into desired serving size (4-6 people) or into bite-sized squares (approximately 50) for an appetizer. Serve hot, room temperature or cold. This dish also freezes beautifully. Some embellishment suggestions: chopped green chili's, sun-dried tomatoes, bell peppers, or any of your favorite herbs. Use your imagination and have fun with this frittata.
