Leftover Stuffing Frittata Recipes

HOW-TO MAKE THE PERFECT LEFTOVERS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Adjust your rack to the middle of the oven.
• In a large bowl, beat together eggs and milk (if using). Don't over beat. Stir in any cooked (but not hot) ingredients that you want to add-in, veggies, meat, herbs, seasonings, etc. Mix in cheese if using and season well with sea salt and black pepper. Stir in to combine.
• To a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, over medium-high heat add your butter (or other fat) and melt. Evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Pour the eggs into the pan, shaking the pan to evenly distribute the mixture. Add any remaining ingredients on top.
• Cook the frittata, without stirring, until its edges begin to set, about 3-5 minutes. As it cooks, I recommend using a rubber spatula to very gently lift up the set portions of your frittata around the edge and let any egg mixture that is not set to run into the space you've created.
• Place the frittata in the preheated oven and cook 8-10 minutes until barely set. (check after 5, to avoid overcooking). Time to cook can vary on the size (and type) of the pan, amount of eggs, how thick it is, etc. So just watch it.
• To check, cut a small slit in the center of the frittata. If raw egg runs into the cut you made, bake for another few minutes. Once set remove from the oven, remember it will continue to cook in the hot pan. (if you are looking for a brown top or want to add cheese and melt, give it a minute under the broiler, but be REALLY careful to not overcook and dry out your frittata)
• Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter or serve right from the pan. Cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature, or cold.

LEFTOVER PASTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the bacon in an oven-safe, medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, then continue to cook until tender, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then stir in the cooked pasta, tomatoes and half of the mozzarella, tossing until all the ingredients are well combined.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, tomato sauce, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, then jiggle the pan to evenly distribute. Top with the Parmesan and remaining mozzarella.
• Bake until the eggs are set and frittata is browned around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then invert onto a platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan.

LEFTOVER FRITTATA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, parsley and hot sauce until combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the cubed ham and sweet potato, then cook for a couple minutes. Pour over the egg mixture and allow to cook for 30 to 45 seconds to set the edges. Place in the oven and bake until the eggs are set but not brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes, then slide the frittata out onto a cutting board and cut into 9 somewhat equal pieces.
• Spread the mustard on the bottom half of each muffin and the mayo on the top half. To each bottom, add a piece of the frittata, a slice of each cheese and 1/3 cup of arugula. Top each with a muffin top. Serve with more hot sauce if desired.

STUFFING FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Coat an ovenproof nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Put stuffing in the bottom of pan to warm and stir to break up a little. Sprinkle cheese over top.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, mustard powder, and nutmeg. Pour mixture over stuffing and cheese to cover stuffing. Sprinkle Parmesan over top. Cook on stovetop over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes, until egg is cooked through and cheese is golden and bubbly.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. Serve with sliced tomatoes.

LEFTOVER STUFFING FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Coat an ovenproof skillet with cooking spray. Pat leftover stuffing into a crust on the bottom of the skillet and place over medium heat on stovetop to warm through. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over top of stuffing.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, parsley, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg. Add salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind how much seasoning was used in your stuffing.
• Pour egg mixture over stuffing and cheese, covering evenly. Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
• Carefully transfer to preheated oven and bake until the eggs are set, the cheese is golden, and the sides have puffed up slightly, about 15-20 minutes.
• Cool slightly before cutting.
• If desired, sprinkle with additional fresh parsley.
