~ hakuna frittata ~

do you ever make a frittata?

they are great for a weekend brunch,

but i whirled one together for dinner this week.

it was my "no worries" frittata.

it was a spontaneous combustion of leftovers

that saved me from making a trip to the store.

here's what i had on hand:

2 leftover baked potatoes

lots of eggs

lots of tomatoes

fresh mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan

fresh basil & garlic
lots of leafy greens {kale, chard, spinach}

here's what i did:

chopped the potatoes

& sauteed them in olive oil & butter

with a little paprika, salt, pepper

until they were like perfect breakfast potatoes.

whisked together about 8 eggs

with a little milk, water, salt, pepper.

added chopped tomatoes,

big chunks of fresh mozzarella & ricotta,

torn basil, pressed garlic, chopped greens.

poured the egg mixture over the hot potatoes.

topped it with lots of grated parmesan,

then put the whole cast iron pan in the oven (350°)

until the eggs were set & the cheese was melty.

served with buttered toast.

~ so delicious ~

~ so quick ~ so easy ~ so cheap ~

so...

when will you make one?
