Simple Frittata

I know some families have a hard time embracing leftovers.  In the Harker house, we plan our meals for the week and Thursday is typically leftover night.  That doesn't mean we have the same meal as earlier in the week.  It means the components of the meal are repurposed into something a little different.  Like roasted chicken from Tuesday night may become a cobb salad with chicken on Thursday night.

In this case, we needed a meatless meal for Friday during Lent.  The asparagus and tomato side dish from earlier in the week became a Simple Frittata.

INGREDIENTS

12 whole eggs
1 1/2 cup leftover veggies or your choice of filling
Cooking Spray

DIRECTIONS

Pre heat oven to 375 degrees.  Whisk eggs in a large bowl.  Add veggies and mix together.  Spray skillet with cooking spray (make sure your skillet has a metal handle that can be placed in the oven).  Pour mixture into the skillet.  Cook for 30 - 35 minutes or until egg mixture is firm to the touch.

Transfer the frittata to a plate or cutting board.  Cut into 6 servings.

I place the leftover frittata in sandwich bags and warm them in the microwave for a quick breakfast or lunch during the week.

This is one of my favorite ways to clean out the leftovers on the weekend.  The variations are endless.  A few of my favorite frittata creations:

➤  Philly Cheese Steak Frittata (mozzarella cheese, peppers, mushrooms, onions and roast beef)
➤  Taco Frittata (cheedar cheese, tomato, onion and taco meat topped with guacamole)
➤  Caprese Frittata (mozzarella cheese, tomato and basil)
➤  Spinach Frittata (spinach, mushrooms, onions and bacon)

If you try it, let me know how it turns out!

Enjoy!
