What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Daily Special: Frittata Frenzy! So you like quiche, but sometimes you could really do without the pie crust. Me too. And what about those small containers in the fridge with a smidgen of leftovers that are just too yummy to toss out? Here’s your answer. Mix your favorite ingredients such as cheese, meat, and vegetables. Combine them with egg, dairy, and spices. The end result is practically a masterpiece. It promises to surprise everyone, including you!
FRITTATA FRENZY
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon Mrs. Dash garlic herb seasoning
2 tablespoons green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon onion, chopped
1 tablespoon pimento, diced
4 ounces Mango Fire Cheddar cheese, shredded
4 ounces chorizo, cooked
1/3 cup herb croutons
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325°. Beat eggs, milk, yogurt, and seasonings. Gently stir in green peppers, onions, pimentos, and cheese. Pour into two 6-inch individual greased baking dishes. Divide crumbled chorizo over the top of the omelet. Gently fold in croutons. This is done right before baking to avoid the meat and bread from sinking to the bottom. Bake uncovered 40 minutes or until omelet is set and top is golden brown. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Frittatas are always a great way to clean out the fridge or freezer. This reminds me I have a bit of chorizo to use up in the freezer. 🙂

I have a little leftover meatloaf. I think that would work well in a frittata like this. Thanks for planning dinner.

It did! And Hubby ate just about all of it. I used the leftover mashed potatoes instead of the yogurt. Fabulous. Your recipe is a keeper.

Oooh, I love a frittata! I always forget about it when faced with leftovers night – we call it “Everybody’s favorite” dinner, because whatever your favorite thing we had over the last few days, you get to have again. I may just have to change it to “Frittata Night”. Thanks for the recipe,, Gail!
