Pork Carnitas Frittata - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups pork, sliced thin into 1 by 1/2 inch strips (leftovers works great)
    4 tablespoons onions, chopped and divided
    1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
    3 tablespoons butter, divided
    2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
    12 large eggs
    3/4 cup water
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    1/4 cup cilantro leaf, chopped
    1/3 cup fresh tomato, seeded and chopped
Preparation
    Saute pork, 3 tablespoons onions and garlic in 2 tablespoons butter in small skillet over low heat.
    Saute till onion is soft, about3 to 4 minutes. Add lime juice and remove from heat and set aside.
    Melt remaining 1 tablespoons butter in large nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. While butter is melting, whisk eggs, water, salt together in large bowl till light and fluffy. When butter is bubbly, pour 1/2 of egg mixture into skillet. Cover and cook till eggs are set on bottom (they may still be runny on top).
    Sprinkle pork mixture evenly over eggs. Carefully pour remaining eggs over pork, cover and place in preheated 350\u00b0F oven for about 12 to 16 minutes, or until eggs are set. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with cheese and return to oven till cheese is melted, approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
    Remove from oven and sprinkle with cilantro leaves, tomato and remaining 1 tablespoons onion. Let set 5 minutes before cutting.
