Shannons Leftover Frittata Recipes

HOW-TO MAKE THE PERFECT LEFTOVERS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Adjust your rack to the middle of the oven.
• In a large bowl, beat together eggs and milk (if using). Don't over beat. Stir in any cooked (but not hot) ingredients that you want to add-in, veggies, meat, herbs, seasonings, etc. Mix in cheese if using and season well with sea salt and black pepper. Stir in to combine.
• To a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, over medium-high heat add your butter (or other fat) and melt. Evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Pour the eggs into the pan, shaking the pan to evenly distribute the mixture. Add any remaining ingredients on top.
• Cook the frittata, without stirring, until its edges begin to set, about 3-5 minutes. As it cooks, I recommend using a rubber spatula to very gently lift up the set portions of your frittata around the edge and let any egg mixture that is not set to run into the space you've created.
• Place the frittata in the preheated oven and cook 8-10 minutes until barely set. (check after 5, to avoid overcooking). Time to cook can vary on the size (and type) of the pan, amount of eggs, how thick it is, etc. So just watch it.
• To check, cut a small slit in the center of the frittata. If raw egg runs into the cut you made, bake for another few minutes. Once set remove from the oven, remember it will continue to cook in the hot pan. (if you are looking for a brown top or want to add cheese and melt, give it a minute under the broiler, but be REALLY careful to not overcook and dry out your frittata)
• Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter or serve right from the pan. Cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature, or cold.

• Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch cast-iron or ovensafe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and heat until warm. Add the steak, roasted red peppers and asparagus and heat until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes, mixing the ingredients in the skillet until evenly distributed.
• Whisk together the milk and eggs in a medium bowl to combine and add some salt and pepper.
• Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and top with the cheese. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is puffed and the eggs are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

LEFTOVER FRITTATA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, parsley and hot sauce until combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the cubed ham and sweet potato, then cook for a couple minutes. Pour over the egg mixture and allow to cook for 30 to 45 seconds to set the edges. Place in the oven and bake until the eggs are set but not brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes, then slide the frittata out onto a cutting board and cut into 9 somewhat equal pieces.
• Spread the mustard on the bottom half of each muffin and the mayo on the top half. To each bottom, add a piece of the frittata, a slice of each cheese and 1/3 cup of arugula. Top each with a muffin top. Serve with more hot sauce if desired.
