Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Rice-A-Roni (original or flavor of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2.5 cups Water
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Start by cooking the Rice-A-Roni according to the package instructions. In a medium skillet, melt the butter, then add the rice and seasoning mix. Stir to combine and add the water. Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or spray an oven-safe skillet or pie dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Stir in the shredded cheese, chopped spinach, and diced red bell pepper.
Add the cooked Rice-A-Roni to the egg mixture and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared skillet or pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the middle and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
