I love quiche but when it comes to easy and a little less carbs, frittatas are awesome. The sky is the limit on ingredients and with a basic recipe you can produce an easy quick breakfast or lunch.
The other morning I had a few leftovers and decided to use them in a quick frittata.
Frittata
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 cup cheddar or Monterey Jack Cheese
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1/2 roasted red pepper, jar or fresh roasted, chopped
- leftover veggies, such as asparagus or broccoli,chopped
- Leftover steak, sausage, bacon, chopped
- salt and pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, add the cheeses
3. Add veggies and meat to a cast iron skillet (or any skillet that is oven safe) with a spray or two of cooking spray.
4. Stir fry veggies over medium heat until hot and tender
5. Pour in egg mixture, let cook for 2-3 minutes on top of stove
6. Put the skillet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching carefully so top is not overly brown.
7. To serve, slice in wedges

I've never made frittatas and I'm currently making a list of new foods to try. I will definitely have to add this one to the list. Thanks for sharing.
I love frittatas. They are so easy and delish 🙂 I am going nto look for those little peppers too!
That absolutely sounds delicious. I make quiche often with the same kind of "throw in leftovers" theory! But I am going to give this a try, too! Thanks for sharing! Stopping by from GRAND Social.

I make a lot of frittatas. It's definitely my go-to dish when I don't know what to make or don't feel like cooking. Awesome meal anytime. Glad to know I'm not alone in feeling that way.

I love sweet peppers and frittatas. We make them all the time. Thanks for sharing at True Aim!
One of my (food) pet peeves is wasting all those bits of leftovers that aren't enough to do anything with. Your frittata is a tasty solution! Thank you for linking with See Ya In the Gumbo this week.
