Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups cooked leftover vegetables (e.g., roasted broccoli, carrots, spinach)
- 1 cup cooked leftover meat (e.g., turkey, ham, chicken, sausage), diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyère)
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, chives), chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the leftover vegetables to the skillet and sauté them for 2-3 minutes, or until they are warmed through.
Stir in the diced leftover meat and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and meat in the skillet.
Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata start to set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and cooked through.
Remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh herbs before serving. Enjoy!
