BREAKFAST FRITTATA

We had this Frittata for breakfast yesterday. Mr. N and we literally fought over it because we both wanted the bigger share. This is a really simple dish that any person can make. It consists of eggs, onions, tomato and any other veggies you have on hand. It is a great way to use up left overs. We planned on making it with predominantly spinach but the spinach we had in our fridge was checking out. So we went for the other vegetables we had: coloured bell peppers, cilantro and green onions.It makes for a simple elegant breakfast dish but it can also be eaten as lunch or brunch. Serve with a side of fruits or more vegetables for it to be more filling. We had ours with some pitted olives because we could really eat a jar of olives every day. Those oval things taste worth making again!

Here is how we made it:

We oven-baked some Irish potatoes very early in the morning for about 45 minutes. So that’s our miserable baked Irish potato to the left. You could just use boiled potato instead. Then there’s some coloured bell peppers (you could just use green pepper), onions, eggs, tomato, Maggi cube and cilantro.

We chopped all the choppable. You’ll notice we didn’t peel the potato. The skin is actually good for the body!

We heated a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-proof skillet then sauteed the onion.

The tomato went right on top.

Then all that chopped veggie goodness plus the miserable potato.

At this point, ladies and gentlemen, we were dancing for joy. Our taste buds were eager and we just couldn’t wait for our frittatatatata…

So we mixed all the veggies together and they looked like a beautiful garden in a pan. We beat the eggs together with the Maggi, a pinch of salt and a pinch of ground white pepper. White pepper just makes almost everything better for us. You could leave it out if you want. You could add a little finely chopped regular hot pepper (habanero or chili) if you like.

We poured our egg mixture over the beautiful vegetables, making sure it coated them all round.

We let the edges set then we transferred the skillet to our preheated oven at 350 Degrees Fahrenheit (about 176 Degrees Celsius).

We let all that goodness bake for about 10 minutes being careful not to let it brown then we brought it out. Oh Lawwwwd!

This just makes our heart sing. Frittatatatatata!

We carefully removed it from the pan then we admired it for a while…

Then we cut into wedges.

Then we fought with the Mr N to eat more.

This recipe is awesome! Be sure to throw in whatever you want into the eggs: shredded carrots, shredded cheese, shredded chicken, whatever! There are ingredients in your kitchen to make this happen. Don’t forget to add a miserable potato like we did.

We're not done yet. There’s the printable recipe below!
