Do you have some meat, but not enough meat for a sandwich?!
What about greens?! Have a handful of spinach, but not enough for a salad?
Do you always wonder, what am I going to do with these three pieces of squash?!
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you’re in luck because have I got the perfect recipe for you! And as a special, one-time-only offer, I am sharing this recipe with you today! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
– Whatever leftover protein and vegetables you have laying around, cut into bite-sized pieces. [I used some steak and broccoli left over from dinner the night before, along with one green onion, half a tomato, and a handful of arugula]
– Cheese. [We usually have quite the array, so I chose goat cheese, but you can use ANY kind of cheese that strikes your fancy]
– Eggs. [I used 5 eggs, which in my opinion, is too many for two people. However, you do need to use more than normal, in order to get good height to your frittata. Without at least an inch-and-a-half of height, you’ll basically just make scrambled eggs, which would be delicious, but obviously not a frittata]
– Olive oil or butter
– Salt and pepper
– High-sided saute pan. [Because I was using so few eggs, I had to use a sauce pan, which I wouldn’t normally recommend. However, as I mentioned, frittata height is very important, so you’ve got to work with what you have]
To Do:
– Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
– Saute the protein and vegetables [excluding leafy greens] over medium heat, in a little olive oil or butter
– Whisk eggs and season with salt and pepper
– When the vegetables and meat are softened and slightly browned, add the eggs and stir everything together. If you’re using any leafy greens, now is the time to add them, as well
– Leave the mixture on the heat, stirring occasionally, and let it set up for a few minutes, then transfer into the oven
– Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until it’s puffy
– Add cheese and bake [or, if you’re using a good melting cheese, broil] for a few more minutes
– Cut into wedges, serve, and enjoy!
