1. Preheat broiler. In a large broiler proof skillet (cast iron is what i used) cook onion & garlic in 2 T. of the hot oil until onion is just tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a bowl beat together eggs & half-and-half. Stir in feta cheese, roasted sweet pepper, olives, basil, black pepper (& any other veggie you decide to throw in). Pour egg mixture over onion mixture in skillet. Cook over medium heat. As mixture sets, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting egg mixture so uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking & lifting edges until exgg mixture is almost set (surface will be moist). Reduce heat as necessary to prevent overcooking.
