A frittata is an Italian dish and is basically an omelet that is started on the stove and then baked open faced in the oven. The beauty of a frittata is its versatility and ease of preparation. Start with almost any combination of vegetables, cooked meat, cheese and seasonings and you will have a delicious meal with a very different flavor every time. You can also vary the texture of your frittata by changing the amount of milk used in the recipe. For instance, the less milk you add the more omelet-like the texture. The more milk will give you a more quiche-like texture.
1 tsp olive oil 2 cups fully cooked and shredded chicken or beef I use left over’s or you could use ham 1/4 cup green bell peppers ¼ cup red bell peppers 1 tomato chopped or ½ small can diced tomatoes drained and dried 8 eggs 1 cup milk 1.5 cups grated cheese (cheddar, Monterey jack combo) 1 small can chopped green chilies ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (if you like the spice) you can use taco seasoning too..... lots of flavor no spice 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper ½ tsp salt Directions: 1. Heat oil in non stick skillet 2. Add peppers sauté until tender ( I have used canned roasted red peppers when I didn’t have fresh) 3. Add chicken or beef and tomatoes 4. Whisk eggs, milk, green chilies and seasonings until well blended. 5. Pour egg mixture over the meat 6. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set up on top. 7. Bake in 350 oven for approx. 10 to 15 minutes or until set (knife inserted in center comes out clean). top will be somehwhat browned 8. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.
Hint: sometimes I cook at too high a temp in my skillet and I burn the bottom….It doesn't taste good that way lol
