Easy Frittata with Leftovers

Frittatas are a versatile, quick, and delicious way to use up leftovers. Packed with protein and flavor, this dish works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, any type you have)
  • 1-2 cups of cooked leftovers (e.g., roasted veggies, cooked meats, pasta, rice)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or basil)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • If finishing the frittata in the oven, preheat it to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

    • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheese if using.

  3. Sauté Leftovers:

    • Heat the olive oil or butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add your leftovers and sauté for 2-3 minutes to reheat and ensure everything is evenly distributed.

  4. Add Egg Mixture:

    • Pour the egg mixture over the leftovers in the skillet. Cook on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.

  5. Finish in the Oven:

    • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and fully set. If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, cover the skillet and cook on the stovetop over low heat until fully set.

  6. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Let the frittata cool slightly, then slice into wedges. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a side salad, crusty bread, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
  • Serve with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce for added flavor.

Tips

  • Use What You Have: Almost any leftover cooked vegetables, meats, or starches can work in a frittata.
  • Add Fresh Ingredients: Fresh veggies like spinach or cherry tomatoes can be tossed in alongside the leftovers.
  • Storage: Leftover frittata can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

This Easy Frittata with Leftovers is a no-fuss way to transform what’s in your fridge into a hearty, delicious meal. Enjoy! 🥚🍳🌿
