Notes: One of my favorite meals to make is a frittata. It has a few things going for it:
- It is healthy, versatile, quick, cheap, easy cleanup
- It uses leftovers like a boss
In addition to consuming right away, this also refrigerates and microwaves very well. I haven't tried freezing it. You can use all matter of ingredients as long as you have about filling that covers but doesn't pile on the bottom. It should also be warm otherwise it takes too long to bring everything to temperature and your eggs won't cook evenly.
Ingredients: <the ingredients provided generally in the order they are used, including any prep>
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 Tbsp fat free half and half
- 1 1/2 Ounces grated cheese (about 1/3 cup)
- Filling - see variations - 1-2 Cups total of whatever you want
Program: <list of steps>
- Turn on broiler and put rack in upper middle position
- Whisk eggs, salt, pepper, half and half
- Cook your filling ingredients in a 10 inch nonstick skillet that can go under the broiler
- Pour the egg mixture over the filling ingredients
- Cook eggs over medium high heat until you have large curds and the spatula leaves a large wake, about a minute or two
- Shake skillet to distribute everything evenly - let it cook for about 30 seconds to let the bottom set
- Put the pan in the broiler until the top is puffed and spotty brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes
- Take from broiler and let it finish cooking with no heat for about 5 mins
- Slide onto cutting board and slice into wedges using a pizza cutter
Variations:
- Fillings can be anything you have leftover. I'd warm it through before adding.
- Onions, shallots or scallions are great
- Bacon, breakfast ham, or sausage are great
- Tomatoes you can do but be sure there isn't a tremendous amount of liquid - cook them down a bit
