Frittata Friday! Done my way

I love an easy Friday recipe that uses up the scrapes in my kitchen. Some roasted vegetables here, random cheese there, one egg and poof! Lunch is served. I use a pancake/crepe pan, but really any decent non stick skillet will do! The key is to have everything prepped before cooking because this recpie comes together quickly.

Ingredients:

  • one cup of chopped vegetables (cooked or not)

  • one/two slices of bacon chopped or one tablespoon plain oil (vegetable or sunflower)

  • 1-3 Tablespoons of cheese (optional) use what you have, if using a grated cheese, use 1 Tablespoon, if using something like mozerella, use 3 Tablespoons of cubes

  • one egg

  • 3 Tablespoons milk (water is not a good substitute, but a heaping spoon of plain yogurt or cream is!)

Instructions

Prep all of the ingredients first. Read that again. Beat the egg and milk, and cheese if you are using together in a bowl. Now if using the bacon, cut into small pieces and cook on medium heat. Once it starts to crisp add the vegetables. Once the vegetables are at the texture you like, (I prefer 3-5 minutes max) get ready to add the egg. Evenly put the vegetables in a layer. Turn the heat to medium low and pour the egg over. You will need to swirl the pan to get the egg everywhere. This is not going to be a thick quiche - its more of an egg pancake. Once the egg starts to take form after 3-5 minutes you are ready to flip onto a plate. Turn off the heat and let the eggs set for a couple minutes. Flip on a plate and serve immediately. Season with salt + pepper as needed. Serve with toast or a green salad.
