Frittata

OK so since I am OBVIOUSLY never going to take the time to post menu plans here I thought I had better do something. So how bout a recipe?

Frittata (aka open faced omelet) is a super easy supper or a great breakfast. Paired with potato (for H) or some yummy bread and it is a complete meal.

Here is what I do:

2-2.5 eggs per person (no not half an egg just calculate and round up if needed)
1 half medium onion
1 small zucchini grated
2 cloves garlic minced
1 lb turkey sausage
6 mushrooms (chop fine if you have little ones)
1 medium red pepper
5 florets of broccoli
2 tsp dried basil (or more to taste) OR
a few sprigs of fresh basil chopped
Salt
Pepper
1 cup soy cheese (or whatever you like)

First saute onion for a few minutes over medium heat add a pinch of salt, add sausage, mushroom and garlic and cook until sausage is no longer pink, add the rest of the veggies at this point. Salt the veggies, about a quarter of a teaspoon. Cook meat is well browned and cooked through. (optional: deglaze the pan with white wine or chicken broth)

At this point you have to judge for yourself based on how many people you are serving, for 3-4. I would add about a cup and a half of the veggie and sausage mixture to 8-10 well beaten eggs.
Freeze any extra for another time. How much or little of the mix is really up to you.

Heat a large non-stick skillet on medium heat add 3 tbs olive oil. Once the oil is nice and hot add the egg mixture. Cook for a 3-5 minutes over direct heat, lifting the sides up as they firm up and allowing the runny eggs to flow down. Turn on oven broiler, low if you have the option. Place pan under hot broiler to set the top of the frittata, poke the middle to check for doneness. Add cheese when almost set and broil until melted, that should do it.


I really struggled to write down this recipe since this is one of those dump recipes, just dump what you have in there and cook it up. One of my other fav combinations is turkey bacon, onion, tomato and fresh spinach. It is a great way to use up leftover veggies and breakfast meats. We do use turkey products and soy cheese so that is what I will write in to the recipes but you can of course substitute.
