Anyday Anytime Frittata
Olive oil - 1 tbsp or so
Cooked Potato - 1 1/2 - 2 C (I used whatever I have on hand whether that is leftover potatoes or sweet potatoes (or both!) or a tumble of frozen shredded hashbrowns that I keep in the freezer for days such as this)
Red (or any color of bell) Pepper - 1/2 C, chopped
Grape tomatoes - 3/4 C, sliced in half (I use these cs I always have them on hand - any tomato will do)
Green onions - 1 - 2, chopped
Turkey (or regular) Bacon - 5 slices, chopped I always pre-cook a whole lb while I am at it.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put parchment on a baking sheet(s). Cook for 5-6 mins per side. Is really a great method if you have an convection oven cs you are done in a snap & bacon turns out flat & crisp! X 3 baking sheets at a time!
Feta or Goat Cheese - 1/4 - 1/2 C, crumbled (or this cow/goat feta that we recently stumbled on at the above-mentioned little local store) *any cheddar cheese is fine too
*Eggs - 5 (Please buy the most ethically raised eggs that you can afford - that plea will need more explanation in another blog…)
**You can pretty much adapt your frittata to use up any cooked veg, you may have in your fridge, too. It is def our norm to add a palmful of cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, or fresh spinach.
Salt & Pepper
Heat non-stick pan over high heat briefly! Reduce heat to medium, once your pan is nice & hot, & add oil. Begin with your chopped peppers, & cook for just a min or two.
Then, add your potatoes & cook until they are heating thru, especially if you are using frozen hashbrowns. (You may need to add a drop or two of water here & put the lid on your pan, for just a bit) Then add bacon, onion, tomatoes & any other chopped veg you have decided on. Continue to heat for a min or two. Crack eggs over top, starting with one in the center of pan. Then, poke yolks & make sure egg is distributed evenly over potato mixture. Sprinkle with a dash of salt & pepper. And, last but not least, sprinkle on your cheese. Now, the magic!!! Pour a tsp or two of water into the sides of your frypan, in a couple of spots, & cover. Leave the lid on while your toast cooks or for just a min or two. Keep an eye on it & cook to a desired doneness. Finally, lift the lid to find a nice, big, fluffy frittata. There you go - simple as that!
