Leftovers Frittata

ingredients

leftover pasta, meats, potatoes, vegetables- whatever you have in the fridge

any fresh vegetables you want to add

1 tablespoon olive oil

salt and pepper (to taste)

6-7 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup grated cheese (of your choice)

Preheat your oven to 350. Heat up the olive oil and your leftovers in a skillet that can handle the heat of the oven. I've often used leftover pasta dishes here- ones with a sauce are especially delicious. I also use any vegetables from the week and I just love adding spinach to the mix. I find it so satisfying to throw in a huge bunch of spinach and watch it shrink down.

Next, mix 6-7 eggs with a bit of milk and pour it over the leftover mixture.

Cook it on medium, letting the edges get solid and then doing this- drag the cooked parts to the center and let the ooey gooey parts fill in the empty void. I go around the edges and do this once, then it's time for the cheese.

Grate some cheese of your choice, I used jack and cheddar here (I love mozzarella when I use pasta with a marinara sauce and sometimes I splurge and use goat cheese) and sprinkle it around the top of the frittata. Place the skillet in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the eggs have set (resist the temptation to get it 'golden' or 'crispy' unless you like overcooked eggs!).

Let it cool for a few minutes before you slice it up and serve it. Pair it with a little salad, a slice of homemade bread, whatever you please!

Enjoy!
