Cooking instruction summary:

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 8 minutes or until onions are soft. Add mushrooms and garlic, stirring occasionally. Mushrooms will release lots of liquid. Once this liquid starts to dry up, add chicken broth, salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence. Simmer to reduce liquid until mushrooms glazed and liquid has thickened. Remove from heat & cool slightly.Whisk eggs, whites, and water in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add cooked mushrooms and combine well.Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a 10 or 12 inch skillet and heat on medium-high. (The smaller skillet produces a thicker frittata, which I prefer.) The skillet needs to be hot enough to evaporate a drop of water on contact. Pour eggs & mushrooms into the skillet and let it cook for about 30 seconds, or until the bottom layer is firm. Use a heat-proof rubber spatula to slide under the eggs and lift slightly. Tilt the skillet so that the uncooked eggs runs under the frittata. Repeat this process in several places.Turn the heat down to low and cover the eggs. Cook for 8 – 10 minutes until the eggs are nearly set.Place skillet with eggs under broiler for 2 – 4 minutes, until it’s puffed and slightly browned. Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn. Slice like a pizza and serve.

Food Joke

Mother Teresa dies and of course goes directly to heaven. God greets her and asks her, "After you get familiar with this place, how about we have dinner together?" "I would love to eat dinner with you!" Later that evening they meet up for dinner and she takes a seat at the dining room table. God is in the kitchen and starts preparing a very simple meal: one can of tuna fish and some crackers. Through some cracks in the floor, Mother Teresa looks down at Hell; she sees fire and red hot flames with hundreds of thousands of people, and they are dining on lobster, fine wine, chocolate cakes, steaks, pancakes, row after row of fine food. Mother Teresa can't help but ask, "God, look at how they're eating down there. Shouldn't we be dining even better than Hell? You are just serving canned tuna and crackers..." God says, "Well, I figure since it's just the two of us, why cook?"
