Leftovers Frittata

Made this this morning with leftover bits from the fridge....


  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1-2 oz grated cheese (I used the gouda I had leftover from Jossie's birthday canapes)
  • fresh ground salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 - 1 cup chopped leftovers. I used tomato, ham & onion
  • Chopped fresh herbs (I used wilted arugula from the fridge. Yes I know it's not an herb. Whatever. I also used a bit of sage and parsley. Happy now?)
    • Preheat oven to broil.

      Blend eggs with a fork, adding cheese (parmesan, cheddar, etc.), salt & pepper.

      Heat 12-inch non-stick oven-safe saute pan over medium heat (lot of hyphens, there...).

      Add butter to pan & melt.

      Add veggies & meat to pan & saute for 2-3 minutes.

      Pour egg mixture into pan & stir with rubber spatula.

      Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the egg mimsture has set up on the bottom and begins to set on top.

      Sprinkle with herbs & put the pan in the oven to broil for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned & fluffy.

      Remove from pan & cut inot servings.

      Suggestions: try drizzling it with truffle oil/salt, sprinkle more grated cheese on the top, mix other herbs in there as well as leftover meat, peppers, corn, etc.
