Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover stuffing
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or additional butter
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, shredded cheese, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
In an oven-safe skillet (such as a cast-iron skillet), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil (or butter) over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the leftover stuffing, breaking up any large clumps. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Spread the stuffing and vegetable mixture in an even layer across the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the stuffing, ensuring it evenly covers the contents of the skillet.
Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set. Avoid stirring.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and the center is set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
