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

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
