Some mornings or evenings you just need a quick and delicious meal, and this frittata recipe hits the mark for a quick and easy meal that you can serve anytime of the day. This dish is all cooked in one pan which means cleanup is fast, and if you are like me the cleanup process is the worst part of cooking. Additionally, you can use leftovers for part of your ingredients. I hope you find this recipe as quick and delicious as I do and add it to your weeknight or breakfast rotation.
Special Notes:
- You can include any vegetables in this dish that you like or happen to have on hand. You can spice it up by adding fresh jalapeno peppers, make it more earthy by adding mushrooms, or change the flavor based on the cheese you use in the dish. Feel free to be creative!
- If you add additional vegetables, make sure to add them to the skillet based on how long they need to cook, starting with those that require the most time to cook.
- For each cup of extra ingredients added, you will need to add an additional egg and 2 tablespoons of whipping cream. You will also need to increase the cooking time.
- A large cast iron skillet is the perfect pan to use, but you can use any oven safe dish.
- If you are using extremely salty meat, you may want to eliminate the ½ teaspoon of salt.
- This dish pairs well with a green salad.
