It HAS to be a black cast iron pan, well seasoned, where nothing ever sticks, and food always comes out perfectly. She would use whatever she had handy, ie, broccoli, asparagus, tomato and onion, spinach, green peppers, etc and only using olive oil to cook with. It would be an addition to our suppers.

My mom still makes "froshias" (I know exactly what you mean) at age 91, and I make them, too. Maybe it's a Sicilian version of a frittata - a word I never heard growing up! When she wasn't making her own pizza on Fridays, she made a "froshia", which we ate with hunks of italian bread.
As for peppers and eggs, or potato, peppers and eggs...never taste as good as mom's. Still a great sandwich (she uses Italian frying peppers - the green bell peppers always gave her agita!)
