Super Rice Fritata

With two children at home but attending the local college and a husband with a changeable work schedule, I don't always have the time to create a dinner as much as cook something and get it on the table. Since we do try to eat relatively healthy, I am always looking for tasty shortcuts that don't involve boxed foods or fast food. This is a good one and, as always, is open to creative change. I have been known to stir in some cooked, diced chicken or crispy fried pork.

Super Rice Fritata

1/2 cup finely chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, smashed and diced
2 tablespoons butter
8 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sause
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
2 cups cooked rice
4-ounce can chopped, mild green chilies, undrained
1 tomato, diced
3/4 cup sharp cheddar, shredded

In a large frying pan, cook onions and garlic until tender.

Mix together the eggs, milk, and seasonings. Stir in the rice, chilies, and tomato. Pour mixture into pan with onions and garlic. Reduce the heat, cover and cook until just set. Sprinkle with cheese, cover, and remove from heat. Let it set for about five minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Serve.
