We usually cook this recipe on weekends, on those days that we wake up a bit later than usual. Yes, we do sleep in on weekends! It’s true that it makes it harder to wake-up on Monday mornings, but we do it anyhow, particularly on Saturdays. We need to recharge and relax…
Brunch. We coined a word for it in Somali: Qurado (Quraac + Qado). Just like brunch is breakfast and lunch. In our house, qurado is served anywhere between 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and all the family sit together at the table. It’s a tradition that we’ve continued for many, many years.
For us, brunch is a light affair. No elaborate recipes, just easy and quick dishes. This frittata dish is one of our favourite recipes. It is simple and elegant and a cinch to put together. It’s also an effective way of sneaking in vegetables for those who wouldn’t eat them otherwise.
To make the recipe lighter, you can use light cream cheese or use less of it. You could also use any other cheese that you prefer. For the vegetables, you can add zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus, potatoes, etc. They are all good additions or substitutes.

Method
Tap a step to mark it done.
Place the cream cheese in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients. This will make it easier to cut the cheese into cubes. Dice the onions, tomatoes, and yellow (or red) pepper. Chop the spinach and parsley. Crack 9 large eggs and whisk thoroughly. It’s a good idea to break each egg into a small bowl to avoid adding a bad egg to the rest.
On medium heat, sauté the diced onions in the oil until the onions become soft and translucent (about 3 minutes).
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, then add the diced yellow pepper.
Add the chopped spinach and parsley and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the cubed cream cheese and arrange them as shown, spacing them as evenly as possible.
Pour the whisked eggs on top then cover tightly and cook for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Waa ku mahadsan tahay salaanta wacan. Baqduunis wuu ka-duwan yahay kabsarada, wuu ka-caleema weyn yahay, caraftana isku mid ma-ahan. Afka Ingiriiska waxaa loo yaqaanaa “parsley.” Isbinaashada waxaa kaloo loo yaqaanaa koosto ama cagaar. Af-Ingiriiska waa “spinach.” Halkaan guji masawirka ayaad arkaysaa google.ca/search?q=spinach&hl.
