GCH: What’s on Your Plate? — Southwest Frittata

For two days last week, my husband and I went out of town to celebrate our 9th Anniversary.  I had made reservations at a Bed & Breakfast just a couple of hours away from home.  This was our first experience at a B&B, and the first time we had ever done anything for our anniversary!  So we were both pretty excited!

Having never been to a B&B, we really didn’t know what to expect.  But I have to say that within just a few minutes upon arriving, the hosts of this B&B set our minds at ease!

David and Nancy Bowman, the Innkeepers at Bowman’s Oak Hill Bed & Breakfast in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, were the absolute best hosts!  Both of them were extremely friendly and very determined that we were going to have an awesome time!  David even made us literally promise that we would ask if we were in need of something!

The room we reserved was called “Gracie’s Garden Room”.  It was amazing!  From the white cast iron bed with fluffy pillows, two-person in-room Jacuzzi, His & Hers bath robes, the “Happy Anniversary” card found on our pillows, and the soft gentle music playing in the background, Gracie’s Garden Room was the perfect setting for our anniversary!  This room is just one of the many reasons why we will definitely visit this B&B again!

The reason I am sharing this information with you is not just because this was an amazing place to stay, but I want to share a recipe with you that Nancy Bowman has won several awards for!  This particular recipe is one that was served to us for breakfast on our first morning.  With Nancy’s permission, here is the recipe for her infamous “Southwest Frittata”.  Oh my goodness, this is absolutely delicious!

Southwest Frittata

Ingredients:

7 large eggs

1 can creamed corn

1-4 oz can sliced black olives, drained

1-4 oz can diced green chilies

2 cups shredded Cheddar or Mexican mix cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat the eggs in a large bowl.  Add remaining ingredients.  Stir together and pour into 10-inch glass pie pan.  Bake for 50-60 minutes.  Bake until set.

Nancy served this dish with black bean and corn salsa and sour cream.

Variation:  You can also use whole corn and ¼ cup half & half in place of the creamed corn.  Fresh slices of tomatoes on the side are also nice!

Servings:  6

If you’re looking for a great B&B, we would highly recommend Bowman’s Oak Hill B&B, located just outside of Wisconsin Dells.  From the spacious romantic bedrooms, lovely bathrooms, and the yummy breakfast served in the dining area or on the large deck, to the eight acres of park-like setting and 25 acres of woods to wander, you will definitely have the opportunity to rest and relax!
