Ingredients

2 oz. crumbled Cotija Cheese

1/2 cup grated Mozarella

1/4 cup sliced green onion

8 eggs, beaten well

2 T milk or half and half

2 tsp. olive oil

1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning

fresh-ground black pepper to taste

1 large avocado, sliced lengthwise

Directions

Crumble the Cotija cheese to get 2 ounces, and grate Mozzarella   Slice the green onion.   Beat eggs until the whites and yolks are well combined. Adjust the oven rack so it’s about 4-5 inches under the broiler and turn broiler on. Heat the oil in a heavy oven-proof frying pan over medium-low heat.   When the pan feels hot when you hold your hand over it, add the eggs, season with Spike Seasoning and fresh-ground black pepper,  and let eggs cook for about 2 minutes, just until they’re starting to look cooked on the edges.   Add the grated mozzarella and sliced green onion and cook about 5 minutes more, or until the eggs look like they’re cooked about half-way through.   Slice the avocado while the eggs are cooking. When eggs are cooked about half-way through, lay the avocado slices over and sprinkle with the Cotija cheese. Cover the pan with the lid and cook about 3 minutes more, or until the eggs look like they’re nearly cooked through and the Cotija is starting to melt. Remove lid, put the frittata under the broiler and cook about 2 minutes more, or the eggs are firm and cheese is melted and the top of the frittata is nicely browned.   Serve hot.  .
